How to change Autofill on Mac

Fill 'er up!

Change Autofill

Got an Apple , Mac or iOS tech question? We have the answer. This time we have a reader dealing with problematic AutoFill in Safari for Mac OS X . AutoFill is a super-convenient way to get your personal information into online forms and the like, but it can be a big pain when AutoFill insists on providing the wrong info. Fortunately, there's a way to change this behavior — we'll show you how.

How do I change the autofill on my Mac?

Is there a way to control the data used for AutoFill in Safari on my Mac? For example, I want to use my personal information for AutoFill, but my work info keeps coming up!

This has been a lingering issue within OS X for many, many years (in fact, since AutoFill for Safari was introduced), and has yet to be addressed. The problem at hand is that no normal person as a single email address, a single phone number, or a single address. We all have work addresses, work phone numbers, and work email addresses. When you have multiple entries in your contact card, however, AutoFill will only grab the first of each of these entries.

Fortunately, there is a way to fix this issue, even if it's a bit of a roundabout solution. Open your contact card in the Contacts app, and click the "Edit" button at the bottom of the card. (Or, from Safari, open the preferences, go to the AutoFill tab, and click Edit; you'll automatically be redirected to the Contacts app.) Ensure that the address, phone number, or email address that you want to be entered by Safari AutoFill is in the first position for each of the data types. This will likely require moving around a bit of data, since fields cannot be dragged and rearranged in Contacts. Once you do this, however, your Autofill data should come in exactly like you want.

Chances are good that you use your iPhone's autofill feature so often that you take it for granted, barely noticing as your phone quickly loads in your passwords or credit card information. 

But if you ever lose or cancel a credit card, or if you don't want personal data stored on your phone, or if you share your iPhone with others, then you may want to remove or at least customize the autofill feature. That way, you don't risk sharing too much sensitive information.

How to disable and edit safari’s autofill on macos and ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more.

Quick Links

Editing or disabling autofill on safari for macos, editing or disabling autofill on safari for ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more. Today we're going to discuss how to turn off or edit those AutoFill entries on macOS and iOS.

Whenever any form data is autofilled, Safari highlights them in yellow.

safari autofill wrong address

To turn off any or all AutoFill forms in Safari on macOS, first open Safari's preferences from the Safari menu or press Command+, on your keyboard.

safari autofill wrong address

In Safari's preferences, click the AutoFill tab You'll see a list of the things Safari can autofill.

safari autofill wrong address

Uncheck any items you don't want Safari autofilling, or click "Edit" next to any of the four items to change the actual data Safari has saved. This includes:

  • Using info from my contacts : When you start typing any personal information about you, or any other person in your Contacts, into a form (name, address, phone number, etc.), Safari will autofill the blanks.
  • User names and passwords : Clicking "Edit" will simply switch to the Passwords tab, which will let you amend any of your login information contained therein.
  • Credit cards : This will open a credit card dialog allowing you add or remove payment information. Double-click on an entry to update a credit card's information including the cardholder's name, card number, and expiration date. Before you can edit any sensitive data, you will have to enter your system password.
  • Other forms : Click the other forms "Edit" button to edit or remove any or all form data you have saved for a particular website. This is particularly useful if you frequently visit a website with forms you need to fill in time after time with the same information.

Safari on iOS can also fill in form data automatically. To access the AutoFill settings on iOS, open the Settings and tap "Safari".

safari autofill wrong address

Next, scroll down to the General options and tap "AutoFill".

In iOS, the options are slightly different than on macOS. You can still turn off your contact information, names and passwords, and credit cards, but there is no option for other forms.

The My Info option will let you choose another contact to use as your device's main contact, or again, you can edit your own contact information so it is up to date.

You can also view, add, remove, and edit any saved credit cards.

safari autofill wrong address

You may have noticed, in the previous screenshot, that there isn't any obvious way to edit saved login information. To fix any stored usernames and passwords, tap back to the Safari settings, and then tap "Passwords" right above the AutoFill settings.

safari autofill wrong address

Keep in mind that AutoFill will automatically populate any forms on your devices, regardless of who is using them. Thus, you should only lend your devices to people you trust, or simply turn off AutoFill if someone else is going to be using your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

One final note: user login details and credit cards are stored in your iCloud Keychain ( unless they're not set up to sync to iCloud ), so when you add, delete, or edit either of these items on any one device connected to your iCloud account, the information will be populated to your other devices.

That's really all there is to it. Safari's AutoFill settings are simple enough to understand. Now, if you no longer want certain information to automatically populate forms, you can turn it off. Similarly, if the information is incorrect, you can fix it.

How to autofill passwords, bank cards, names and addresses on iPhone

Karen Haslam

Fed up with entering the same information over and over again whenever you sign up on a website, or buy something online? Hopeless at remembering passwords so you have the same one for everything, even though you know that’s not a good idea?

Luckily Apple is so thoughtful that it is possible for your iPhone to do all this for you – entering your name, address, email, phone number, passwords and more. Here’s how to get that working, and what to do if autofill is autofilling incorrect information.

How autofill works on iPhone

Autofill will kick in when you encounter certain web forms, for example, when you are signing up for a new account and tap on the name field. You will see Autofill suggestions appear above the on-screen keyboard and the fields that are autofilled will have a yellow highlight to remind you to check them.

If you were shopping online you could use autofill to complete your name, email, phone number, address, and even enter your credit card information. The only thing you need to enter yourself is the three digit code from the back of your card.

Before you set your iPhone, iPad and Mac up to use autofill it’s very important that you make sure that it is password protected.

Password protect your iPhone

If you are going to save passwords and credit card info in order to use autofill then it’s really important that you use a passcode to protect your device. Don’t leave your iPhone unlocked because anyone would be able to use it and access your data. Don’t use an easy to guess passcode either – like 0000 or 1234. You can choose to use a multifigure passcode that includes numbers and letters. Read our advice about creating a safe passcode here .

If you are using a 6 digit passcode, or worse a 4 digit passcode, it’s time to update.

  • Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode).
  • Enter your current code, then scroll to Change Passcode.

safari autofill wrong address

  • Here you have the choice of adding a custom alphanumeric code, or a custom numeric code. Choose something that won’t give you a headache everytime you enter it, but keep the folloing in mind…

Of course you can continue to use your fingerprint or face to unlock the phone, but the Passcode is what really protects your data should your phone fall into someone else hands. A passcode that is longer than six digits will be a lot more secure – apparently it could take a few months to hack an eight-digit pin, while a ten-digit pin could take a decade to crack. Alternatively a passphrase that combines numbers and letters and even symbols would be even more secure – but probably more hassle for you every time you need to enter it. Read more about iPhone security here.

How to edit your autofill information, name and address

Over time your autofill information can get out of date. Say you move house or get married. If you want to autofill the correct data you need to make sure your personal card in Contacts is up to date.

Tap on Contacts and locate your own name in the list. Tap on your name from the Contacts list to view your own details, and tap Edit to fill in the information. You should ensure that your telephone number, email and physical address is correct.

  • Open Contacts
  • At the top you will find your own card, click on that.

safari autofill wrong address

Here you will find your phone numbers, various email addresses you use, your home and work addresses, birthday, and medical ID, under which you can list any medical conditions or allergies and your blood type, in case of emergency.

When this information is correct you won’t have to keep entering your data in online forms and the like.

In order for Safari to know to use this information, you may need to update your settings.

  • Go to Settings > Safari > Autofill
  • Make sure that Use Contact Info is selected.

safari autofill wrong address

  • Also select Names and Passwords.

There is also the option to Select Credit Cards, which we will look at next.

Note that it may take a while before your Contact Info syncs across your devices.

How to add a debit of Credit Cards to Autofill

Generally the first time you use a new card it will find its way into your Autofill memory, but if you want to add it yourself, here’s what to do:

  • Go to Settings > Safari > Autofill.
  • Click on the arrow beside Saved Credit Cards.
  • Use Touch ID/Face ID or enter your passcode.
  • Tap on Add Credit Card.
  • You can use the camera to save having to enter all the digits. Otherwise, just tap them in.

How to remove old Credit Cards from Autofill

If you are anything like us, you probably lose your card from time to time, and have to get a new one from the bank. When this happens you can end up with lots of listings for old cards you can no longer use. Here’s how to remove them.

  • Click on the arrow beside Saved Credit Cards
  • Use Touch ID/Face ID or enter your passcode
  • Tap on Edit

safari autofill wrong address

  • Tap on Delete

This will remove the old cards from the keychain on all your devices.

What to do if your iPhone keeps autofilling the wrong information

Getting fed up with autofill suggesting the wrong details? It’s easy to correct what’s in the autofill memory.

If autofill keeps entering your maiden name, for example, you need to change it on your card in Contacts, as above. Similarly, if you have moved house then enter your new address in your contact card.

If you only have one debit card but every time you pay for something online you have to sift through 12 old cards then you just need to delete the old ones, as above.

If autofill is entering the wrong passwords for sites though that can be a bit more complicated. We’ll look at that scenario next.

How to set up password autofill on iPhone

If you are hopeless at remembering passwords don’t feel bad – we all are. The problem with our inability to remember passwords is that it leads to us choosing one easy to remember password for everything, or we write them down somewhere (like the Notes app on our iPhone). The problem with easy to remember passwords is they are also quite easy to guess, and the problem with using the same password for everything is that once it’s guessed, everything is exposed (including that list in Notes).

Apple endeavours to help you by remembering all your complicated passwords for you, so all you need to remember is one passcode to unlock your iPhone (and use your fingerprint or face the rest of the time) and you can log in wherever you need to.

All your passwords will be stored in your iCloud Keychain, so you will need to set up iCloud Keychain on your iPhone if you haven’t already. Here’s how:

  • Go to Settings and tap on your profile at the top.
  • Tap on iCloud.

safari autofill wrong address

To make sure that you passwords autofill, you may also need to switch things on in Settings, so:

  • Make sure that Names and Passwords is on.

When you set up a new login and password on a website using Safari your phone will add the password and user name to your keychain.

How to view all the passwords you have stored in iCloud Keychain

If you are always forgetting your passwords but you don’t want to rely on autofill to complete them (maybe you are using a non Apple device, or sharing your WiFi password with a friend) it is possible to find your password in your keychain. Here’s how:

  • Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords > App & Website Passwords.
  • Your Touch ID or Face ID will be requested.
  • You will be presented with a list of all the services you have passwords for, listed by domain.
  • Scroll through the list until you identify the service you are looking for.
  • Tap on it and you will see your password on the next screen.
  • If you want to delete a password from the list, tap on it, choose Edit, and tap on the – beside it.

safari autofill wrong address

Important: Never enter your password or credit card number on sites with a “Not Secure” warning. See the Apple Support article If you see a “Not Secure” warning while browsing with Safari .

Set up AutoFill

You can save your personal information or credit card number on your iPad to speed up filling in online forms and making purchases.

safari autofill wrong address

Do any of the following:

Set up contact info: Turn on Use Contact Info, tap My Info, then choose your contact card. The contact information from that card is entered when you tap AutoFill on webpages in Safari.

Set up credit card info: Turn on Credit Cards, tap Saved Credit Cards, then tap Add Credit Card. Enter your credit card information into the fields provided or tap Use Camera to enter the information without typing.

Fill in your contact information automatically

You can quickly add your personal information to online forms using AutoFill.

In a form on a website that supports AutoFill, tap a blank field.

Tap AutoFill Contact above the keyboard, then select a contact.

Tap any field to make changes.

Follow the onscreen instructions to submit the form.

Note: You can use AutoFill to enter another person’s information from your contact list. For example, if you’re purchasing a gift and shipping it to a friend, you can use AutoFill to enter their address. Tap AutoFill Contact, tap Other Contact, then choose their contact card.

Fill in your credit card information automatically

After you add a credit card, you can use AutoFill to make online purchases without having to enter your full credit card number.

In a form on a website, tap the credit card information field.

Tap the saved credit card you want to use, or tap Scan Card to take a picture of the front of the card.

Tip: After you enter a new card, you can save it in Safari AutoFill, then add it to Apple Pay. See Add a credit or debit card .

the virtual card icon

When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPad create and save strong passwords for many of your accounts. See Automatically fill in strong passwords .

Turn off AutoFill

You can turn off AutoFill for your contact or credit card information, and for passwords. This is helpful in situations where you don’t want your contact or credit card information to be readily available—for example if you share a device with others.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

incorrect autofill email in safari

This has been driving me mad, I've checked google and the forum and find several references to autofill drawing the autofill email details from contacts, however I've checked that and I can't find the problem.

The issue is with my wife's email address, at some point in the past she has obviously mistyped her email address and safari has "remembered" that error and now autofill overtypes what she has typed this time with the incorrect version. Her error just misses one letter.

I've looked everywhere and can't find where the problem is, any help would be much appreciated

I'm using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

I finally cracked this. I went on line with the Apple Support people. They very patiently went through all of the things I had done, then they were stuck. They suggested a couple of things which didn't work. Final solution was to get to a random log in web site, then before putting in any data like your email that his usually overwritten incorrectly, right (two finger) click on the blank "username/email address" field. This brings up a a selection box of which on option is Spelling and Grammar. Highlight this with your cursor and another selection opens up. Click on the "Show Spelling and Grammar" option and another box opens. This next set is a bit hazy (it was late, I was tired and also desperate for a solution) so bear with me....I had two goes at this and am not sure which one worked so try one then the other...

In the blank top line of the Spelling and Grammar box I put my Wrong ID and then clicked "change". Nothing seemed to happen so I put in the Correct ID and clicked "change". Again nothing seemed to happen.

However when I clicked out of all these boxes, and went to log in to a web page as a test, for some reason this seemed to have cleared the incorrect log in auto-fill. The Apple Support person, who had access to my screen by this time, was amazed and couldn't explain why what I had done had worked. This was over a week ago and the erroneous log in/auto fill has gone for good.

Hope this helps someone. Apologies that I was't as methodical in getting the certain solution but as I say, try one, then if that doesn't work try the other. One of those should clear it.

I did ask the Apple person to make sure this fix is posted widely on all forums but I don't think they did.

Have a look at Safari, Preferences, Autofill. You can see the list of existing autofill data. Maybe delete the erroneous one and start again.

Mar 31, 2015 6:29 AM in response to CT

Unfortunately I've already tried this to no avail. I can't help wondering whether it is coming from somewhere else?. The erroneous data pops up in a sort of "speech bubble" with an x to the right hand side of it if I don't want to accept the autofill data

Mar 31, 2015 7:17 AM in response to adam1630

Long shot: Try deleting cookies associated with that website (Safari, Preferences, Privacy).

Mar 31, 2015 8:08 AM in response to CT

Unfortunately it's not restricted to any specific website, the autofilll comes in on any web page you are filling in that has an email address requirement.

Thanks for your pointers anyway

Mar 31, 2015 9:29 AM in response to adam1630

I think I understand what you are referring to now. All of mine come from the Safari, Preferences, Autofill, OR Safari, Preferences, Password dialogs. I don't know where else they would be.

Mar 31, 2015 9:33 AM in response to CT

One last thing to consider: See "Keychain Access" in your Utilities folder.

I have the exact same problem. I mis-spelled my email address by 1 letter and now the erroneous entry keeps being auto filled by safari. I have checked everywhere (Autofill preferences for safari, Keychain) but cannot find where the error is stored and so cannot delete it. This is so frustrating and has resulted in my not receiving emails as they have been sent to the wrong address.

User uploaded file

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Nov 9, 2015 5:32 AM in response to Mikeysmum-2008

Please add me to this same list of problems. Safari Autofill has been cleaned (my erroneous email wasn't there) Passwords checked and cleared, Keychain checked and not there. Checked my contacts too without success. In desperation I even checked Word Dictionary. Am wondering where this email address must be stored. Am on on El Capitan 10.11.1 I assume that as there has been no update to this thread for some time before my reply, no one knows.......

Thank you so much for going through the process to figure it out - I've had the same problem and it's been driving me nuts. Your directions aren't hazy - I did the same and although it won't let me "unlearn" the bad spelling, somehow it now likes the correct spelling again.
