Introduction Understanding Autofill in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge's autofill feature is designed to streamline your online experience by saving and automatically filling personal information, such as addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. This guide provides clear instructions on how to enable or disable the 'Save and fill personal info' setting within the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, ensuring you have complete control over your data and browsing preferences.
This tutorial is relevant to users on Windows 11, Windows 10, and other supported operating systems where Microsoft Edge is available. Whether you prioritize convenience or privacy, this guide ensures you can configure autofill to suit your needs.
How-To Enabling or Disabling Autofill
Follow these simple steps to manage your autofill settings:
1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Edge browser on your device.
2. Access Settings: Click the three dots menu (Settings and more) in the top-right corner, then select 'Settings'.
3. Navigate to Profiles: In the Settings menu, click on 'Profiles' on the left side, and then click on 'Personal info' under your profile on the right side.
4. Toggle Autofill: You will find the 'Save and fill personal info' option. Toggle it 'On' to enable autofill or 'Off' to disable it.
5. Close Settings: Close the Settings tab when you're finished.
That's it! You have successfully managed the autofill feature.
Sync Autofill and ing Considerations
If you have sync enabled for your Microsoft Edge profile, your autofill data is stored on encrypted Microsoft servers and synchronized across all devices where you're signed in with the same account. Deleting autofill data from one device will remove it from all synced devices. When sync is disabled, autofill data remains local to the device.
Consider your privacy preferences and device usage when deciding whether to enable or disable the sync feature. If you're concerned about data security, disable sync.
