Safari autofill passwords not requiring Touch ID

Hi,


I'm having an issue with Safari not prompting for my fingerprint with Touch ID before autofilling saved passwords. I have the preference for Touch ID set for Safari passwords and my Safari preferences are also set to autofill passwords. The problem is when I go to a website Safari is automatically logging in without my fingerprint. My husband is running the same OS (Mojave) and has the same preferences, however he must use the Touch ID on the Touch Bar before Safari will fill in the user name and passwords. For security reasons with my work I need the password protection or anyone can access sensitive information on my computer if it happens to be logged on already. Does anyone know why my Touch ID is not being required? Thanks.
