Filling out online forms with the help of an Autofill program is an incredibly time saving feature. Not only addresses, but Chrome can autofill usernames, passwords, and credit card details as well. All of this comes in really handy when you’re signing up on a new website.

However, as convenient as autofill maybe, it is also annoying when it doesn’t get things right, or when it saves data with mixed values from forms of various kinds that we fill online.

Also, when there are multiple users on a PC, using a single Chrome account. It’s much better to have autofill turned off to avoid running into each others’ form data.

Chrome Autofill Data Types

Chrome categorizes Autofill into the following three forms of data.

  • Passwords: Chrome saves username and password for a website to autofill it for you when needed.
  • Payment methods: Your credit and debit card details are stored here and offered for autofill on pages where the respective form fields are available.
  • Addresses and more: Chrome stores addresses and offers to autofill when you click on a relevant form field on a website.
