Complete Online Forms With Just One Click Using Autofill Feature

Sometimes filling some online forms are so irritating, because sometimes we have to fill same information or data again and again. Are you tired of filling out web forms with the same information time and time again? The Autofill feature of Google Chrome browser allows you to the complete forms with just one click.


How to Enable / Disable Autofill:
  • Click the wrench icon  on the browser toolbar.
  • Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
  • Click the Personal Stuff tab and find the "Autofill" section.
  • Deselect the "Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click" checkbox.

How to use Autofill?
Your address information is always 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 in the browser. The browser will 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.

Always use preview a form 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.

Important Note: 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.

Do you have any idea why autofill would suddenly stop working? I NEED it for work and it won't populate anymore. I've deleted cookies, cache and browsing data. I've disable and then re-enabled auto fill. I've uninstalled Chrome altogether and then re-installed it - all to no avail. Help!
