Your browser has stored your password and is auto-filling the fields. I use that for most of the sites, except for bank sites. Deleting the password by going to browser settings will no longer fill in the fields.
 
On the Login screen there is also a Check Box labelled 'Keep Me Logged In', or 'Remember Me', or something to that effect. Make sure the box is cleared.
