I really really wish there was a way (holding shift, ctrl or something) to only autofill the one field without it goig to fill/replace every other field on the page. It's so annoying when the stuff you just field get replaced just because you want to autofill one field.

My favorite is when it autofills a whole form that has the field name only as a hint that disappears once it's filled. Of course it always fills with the wrong set of information.

That sound's like the form's fault. Even filling it in manually, you won't be able to double-check that you entered the right information.

I typically type everything manually in long forms because the autofill tends to get something wrong every once in a while. It's like choosing to drive the car myself rather than trusting the self-driving feature.
I figure most people just tolerate wrong inputs and live with the results. (It doesn't happen that often.)

A variation:
In practice as a developer you have to resort to JavaScript hacks and obfuscating form field names to avoid it.
