How can I fill in forms automatically in Chrome on a computer?

Question

You can use Autofill in Google Chrome to fill in forms automatically with saved information like names, addresses, and payment details.

To set this up, open Chrome and click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Then go to Settings and select Autofill and passwords.

Here, you can manage different types of Autofill data. Click Addresses and more to add or edit your personal details such as name, phone number, and address. Turn on the option to save and fill addresses.

For payment information, click Payment methods. You can add your card details and enable Autofill for faster checkout. Chrome may also offer to save your details when you enter them on a website.

When filling out a form online, click on a field such as name or address. Chrome will show suggestions based on your saved information. Select the correct option, and Chrome will automatically fill the rest of the form.

You can also manage saved passwords under Passwords, allowing Chrome to fill login forms automatically.

If you are signed in to Chrome, your Autofill data can sync across devices, making it available wherever you use your account.

For security, Chrome may require you to confirm your identity before filling sensitive information like payment details.
