Undo Safari not remembering login details for a website

A little while ago I accidentally clicked 'Never for this Website' when Safari prompted me to remember a login username and password. Unfortunately, I did want to save the username and password for that site

The fix is easy -- open Keychain Access (in Utilities), then look in the login keychain and find the site you tried to visit. Somewhere in the list, you'll see an entry like this:

www.somesite.com (Passwords not saved)
Simply delete that item from the login keychain, restart Safari, and Safari will prompt you to save usernames and passwords when logging in to that site. The easiest way to find it in Keychain Access is to search for it using part of the website's URL as your search term.
