Understanding What is Autofill?
Autofill in Microsoft Edge streamlines your online experience by suggesting and automatically entering your saved information into online forms. This includes details like your name, email address, phone number, addresses, and even payment information, saving you valuable time and reducing the chance of errors.
When you begin typing in a form field, Autofill provides suggestions based on the data you've saved in your Edge profile. Simply use the Tab or right arrow keys to accept the suggested entries. Autofill remembers the data you store in your browser profile, including personal information and payment methods. This data is securely stored and synced across all devices where you're signed into your Microsoft account.
Autofill goes beyond basic information; it can also remember your progress on forms you've started but haven't finished, enabling you to pick up where you left off. In addition to personal information, Autofill can also store other data, such as a passport number, to further speed up the process.
Using How to Use Autofill in Microsoft Edge
To use Autofill, ensure you're signed into Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account. This allows Autofill to access the information you've saved within your Edge profile, including passwords, payment methods, and personal information.
When you encounter an online form, begin typing in a field; Autofill will promptly provide suggestions. Use the Tab or right arrow key to quickly select and insert the suggested information.
To manage your Autofill data, navigate to Edge Settings > Profiles > Personal info. Here, you can add, remove, and modify the information Autofill uses. You can also manage your saved passwords within the same settings area.
