Autofill

I’d like to say a couple of words about the Autofill function in browsers which is usually found next to the function of remembering passwords for websites. This function is similar to saving logins and passwords. In the same way, your browser can remember names, addresses, phone numbers and even bank card details.

How does it work? For example, you go to a website to make a purchase (or fill in a certain form or questionnaire). When you click on the fields to enter data, your browser will automatically suggest to use the data it has already saved. Just choose the variant you need.

Billing Information Autofill

Things are the same when it comes to bank cards data.

Bank cards data Autofill

Usually when you enter data into a certain field, browsers suggest saving such information.

You can view or add such autofill data in the Autofill menu or Autofill settings of your browser. It can be found in the login and password settings.

Autofill. You can view or add such autofill data in the Autofill menu or Autofill settings of your browser.

In this menu, you can view all data saved for auto filling (addresses, names, bank card data), change, add or remove it.

Autofill Settings

Autofill data can be cleared completely together with the browsing history.

Such settings look similarly in other browsers. I think there’s no need to go into detail for each of them.

Browser Versions for Mobile Devices

Talking of browsers people use on smartphones or tablets, they all have functions and settings similar to those found in PC versions. In mobile versions of browsers, menu items may have different names, but they work in the same way.
