How to disable Auto-Complete on a Website
Auto-complete is a feature commonly found in web browsers that predicts and suggests possible completions to the user as they type into input fields on a webpage. While auto-complete can be convenient for users filling out forms, there are situations where you may want to disable this feature.
For Microsoft Edge:
In Microsoft Edge, you cannot individually disable the Autofill option for a specific website. The Autofill function in Microsoft Edge works browser-wide and cannot be customized for individual websites. If you wish, you can clear the saved Autofill data for all websites or disable the Autofill function altogether. Here are the steps to do so:
- Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
- Click on the menu icon (three horizontal dots) in the top right corner of the browser.
- Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Go to "Privacy, search, and services" in the left sidebar.
- Scroll down to "Clear browsing data".
- Choose the option to "Clear browsing data".
- Ensure that the option for "Autofill form data" is selected.
- Click on "Clear now" to remove the saved Autofill data.
- To disable autofill in Microsoft Edge, you can follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
- Click on the menu icon (three horizontal dots) in the top-right corner of the browser window.
- Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- In the Settings menu, navigate to the "Profiles" section in the left sidebar.
- Click on "Open your Microsoft wallet" and then click on "Settings."
- Scroll down to "Personal info." Here you can turn off the toggle switch next to "Save and fill basic info."
- Once you've disabled the relevant autofill options, close the Settings tab.
Keep in mind that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the version of Microsoft Edge you're using.
