Form Autofill in Google Chrome Browser

Tired of filling out web forms with the same information time and time again? The Autofill feature lets you complete forms with just one click.

How to use Autofill

• Your address information is stored in Google Chrome. The first time you fill out a form, Google Chrome automatically saves the contact information that you enter, like your name, address, phone number, or email address, as an Autofill entry. You can store multiple addresses as separate entries.
• Credit card information can also be securely stored. The browser can save your credit card information, with your explicit permission. When you enter credit card information on a form, Google Chrome asks you at the top of the page whether you’d like to save the information. Click Save info if you’d like the credit card to be saved as an Autofill entry.
• It takes just one click to fill out a form. When you start filling out a form, the Autofill entries that match what you’re typing appear in a menu. Select an entry to automatically complete the form with information from the entry.Google Chrome also saves the text you’ve typed in specific form fields. The next time you fill out the same field, text that you’ve typed in the past appears in a menu. Just select the text you want to use from the menu to insert it directly into the field.
• Preview a form before you fill it out. To see how Google Chrome will complete a form before it actually fills it out, hover over an Autofill entry in the menu with your mouse. The fields that can be automatically completed are highlighted in yellow.

[advt]It’s important that you use Autofill only on websites you trust, as certain websites might try to capture your information in hidden or hard-to-see fields. Some websites prevent browsers from saving text that you’ve entered, so Google Chrome won’t be able to complete forms on those sites.

Manage your Autofill entries

1. Click the wrench icon  on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
3. Click the Personal Stuff tab and find the “Form autofill” section.
4. Click Manage Autofill settings.
5. In the dialog that appears, you can create as many profiles as you’d like:
   • To save a new address entry, scroll to the end of the “Addresses” section and click Add new street address.
   • To save a new credit card entry, scroll to the end of the “Credit Cards” section and click Add new credit card.
   • To edit an existing entry, double-click it in the list to open the editing dialog.
   • To delete an existing entry, select it from the list and click the x that appears at the end of the row.
   • If you’re using a Mac, addresses from your Address Book are included as potential Autofill matches by default. If you’d prefer not to see those addresses, deselect the “Include addresses from my Address Book” checkbox.
