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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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.

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.

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.

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

Turning off autocomplete in the Safari Search bar

In the image below, I typed only the ‘b’. The rest was added in, possibly by, Safari.

Some of it is black, some of it is blue. What is the difference between the two, where are they coming from, and how can I stop them?

While the blue bit below is relevant to the black bit, my wife has been getting the situation where whatever she typed, the blue was always the name of our village, the top hit turned into the weather for our village, and this was then displayed from a weather site on the web.

And she could get nothing but this, and thought the browser was being hijacked.

I don’t think this was the case, but it surely looked like it.

But how do we avoid this? We’ve turned off all sorts of settings in Safari, and in Siri, but nothing has been effective so far.

Currently, she has switched to the Chrome browser, which doesn’t do this. Which also seems to indicate that this is a specifically Safari problem, and not a wider issue with the iPad or our internet setup.

We are both on iPadOS 13.1.3, and as we have not encountered the issue before, it is tempting to wonder if something changed in this update, to cause this. But maybe it goes back further?

Both iPad Pros, mine 2016, hers 2019.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Your browser is reloading information saved within its cache. The black text is the website address, whilst the “blue bit” is descriptive information retrieved from the target website.

If you have a problem with cached website content, simply clearing it should resolve any strange behaviour:

Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Clear All Website Data

This just clears cached website information - it doesn’t delete any other saved data or content.

Hope this helps to sort you out 🙂

Hello ! I would like to assist you.

I'll try to help you as hard as i can because i'm not fond with this kind of problem.

Here's guide you can try :

  • Turn off the Search Engine Suggestions.
  • Turn off Safari Suggestions.
  • Turn off Preload Top Hit
  • Turn off the Quick Website Search (Example : if you search "Wiki einstein", the safari will direct you to wikipedia and search Einstein)
  • Do not allow Safari to Access "Siri & Search"

Feel free to ask anytime !

Thanks @LotusPilot

I had done this before, but I tried it again, with the usual power cycle.

When I was able to get back on to the Community (at least proving that it made some difference!), I could see that the behaviour I am trying to prevent is still occurring.

Every letter of the alphabet individually brings up something except for x y and z, as do the numbers 1 and 9.

And while the text in blue is from the referenced website in each case for me, how does that explain that everything my wife typed in - the names of ports in South Africa - brought up our village name, plus GB, in every case?

It’s possible that this was a separate issue, of course, with that string stuck in the iPad’s cache, or whatever, as we do seem to have got past that by now; but I’m still getting a Safari autocomplete that i would like to be able to prevent.

And as far as I know, we have now turned off everything configurable that could have a bearing on this.

Unless there are any other suggestions out there.....

We have at least found a workaround for Safari, which is to type a space after our intended search string, but this shouldn’t be necessary.

Oct 21, 2019 5:27 AM in response to DocileMeerkat

Thanks @DocileMeerkat.

The only one of those settings that was not already turned off was Quick Website Search, so I turned this off, and power cycled the iPad.

I am afraid it didn’t make any difference; the issue still occurs exactly as described as above 😢

Oct 21, 2019 6:17 AM in response to Midnight_Voice

Another possibility is that a local DNS cache has possibly been corrupted or poisoned - or that some other lingering issue is causing you some difficulty.

Making the assumption that you are both accessing the same websites from the same network, but with different devices, then I suggest that you reset the network settings on your Wife’s iPad.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

You’ll need to rejoin (and have the password(s)) for your WiFi, but this will hopefully get you back to normal.

Oct 22, 2019 11:44 PM in response to LotusPilot

@LotusPilot

I think you are right about the poisoning, cache but not DNS, but I don’t think it’s sinister. I think Safari was asking for the blue bit based on the black bit, but because there was no address for a website that Safari knew of for the search terms being entered, it just took something that was cached - as the name of our village plus GB certainly would have been - and displayed that. And this, or maybe even the same cache entry ‘sticking’ determined what the response was.

We did manage to break the behaviour, and ‘unstick’ the cache, or whatever it was, and haven’t seen it since, nor managed to reproduce it.

So maybe it doesn’t matter so much that Safari does what it does in the autocomplete area, when that is working properly. But it seems to be something that Safari ‘just does’ as part of its non-configurable coding, because I’ve had every setting in Safari turned off except the Advanced/Experimental ones, and it still does it, even JavaScript, though I had to turn that back on when websites kept telling me they wouldn’t work without it. 

And I tried the Network reset you suggested, which seemed quite an extensive thing, with black screens and progress bars and whatnot, but didn’t seem to do anything tangible except make me need to reinput my network password - it certainly didn’t change the search window behaviour.

But this will be worth doing on my wife’s iPad I think, if it flushes that sticky cache, though it didn’t seem to flush anything on mine.

macOS and iOS: How to Turn Off Safari Autofill

Andrew Orr

This weekend, headlines were made when research found new techniques used by advertisers. It’s a way for ad targeters to track you using your browser’s password manager. Two scripts—AdThink and OnAudience—obtain information that can identify you from autofill forms. Here’s how to turn off Safari autofill on macOS and iOS.

Which Password Managers?

1Password took to Twitter to reassure users, saying that the password manager is immune to these types of attacks.

Hello! 1Password is immune to these attacks. 1Password compares the document’s hostname to the item’s hostname immediately before filling. If they do not match then they will not fill. You can find out more here: https://t.co/9zPycDJvtH — 1Password (@1Password) January 2, 2018

Another popular manager, LastPass, hasn’t given any information (that I know of) about this attack. But these password managers tend to work similarly, so I’m guessing that it too isn’t affected.

Safari autofill attack process.

The scripts work by injecting invisible login forms in the background of a website. When your browser automatically fills in data, it collects that information. It can be used as a persistent ID to track people throughout the web. While they largely focus on usernames, there is nothing stopping them from collecting passwords too.

Turn Off Safari Autofill

People who use third-party password managers aren’t affected. If you rely on iCloud Keychain, the scripts may end up collecting your data. But it’s easy to turn off autofill.

On your Mac, open Safari and go to Safari > Preferences . When the preferences box appears, click on the Autofill tab. Uncheck the box next to user names and passwords .

Safari Autofill preferences in macOS.

On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari > Autofill . Turn off the switch next to Names and Passwords .

However, if you prefer to use iCloud Keychain instead of paying for a password manager, you can use an adblocker to prevent tracking by third-party scripts. The researchers note that the two domains used to serve the scripts (behavioralengine.com and audienceinsights.net) are blocked by the EasyPrivacy blocklist.

How to Use AutoFill in the Safari Browser

Save time filling out web forms

safari autofill turn off

What to Know

  • In the Safari menu, select Preferences . On the General screen, select AutoFill > choose autofill options.
  • To view or modify saved Autofill information, select Edit next to the category > enter password .

This article explains how to use the Safari AutoFill feature to populate data whenever the browser detects a form. Information in this article applies to Macs with macOS Catalina (10.15) through OS X Yosemite (10.10).

How to Use AutoFill in Safari

AutoFill information is potentially sensitive, so it is essential that you understand how to manage it. You can turn on specific types of information to be used in AutoFill or turn off all the options completely. Safari provides an easy-to-use interface to manage your AutoFill information.

Open Safari, go to the Safari menu, and select Preferences .

The keyboard shortcut to open Safari preferences is Command + , (comma).

In the General preferences screen, select the AutoFill tab.

Place a check next to any of the four AutoFill options you want to use when auto-filling forms on the internet.

To prevent Safari from using any of these four categories to autopopulate a web form, click the corresponding check mark to remove it.

To view or modify the saved information used by AutoFill in a particular category, select the  Edit  button to the right of its name. When you do, you are prompted to enter your user password. This protects the information in AutoFill from prying eyes.

Why Use AutoFill

Entering information into web forms can be a tedious exercise, especially if you do much  online shopping . It is even more frustrating when you type the same information over and over again, such as your address and credit card details. Safari provides an AutoFill feature that stores this data on your device and populates it whenever the browser detects a form.

The four types of information are:

  • Using information from my contacts : Completes forms with the information from a contact card in the Contacts app.
  • User names and passwords : Safely saves the passwords and usernames you enter on web pages and uses these again when you revisit the same web pages.
  • Credit cards : Safely saves your credit card number, name, and expiration date and uses the information when you use the card again. You can add new credit cards, remove old ones, and edit your card information here.
  • Other forms : Saves other information you enter on web pages to fill it in when you revisit the same web pages. Click Edit to see what is saved or to edit it.

You can choose to edit or remove AutoFill entries on a site-by-site basis at any time.

If you have Touch ID on your Mac, use it to fill in AutoFill names, passwords, and credit card information that it selects from the Safari preferences AutoFill tab.

Introduction

Autofill is a nifty feature that saves time and effort by automatically populating forms and fields with previously entered information. While this can be incredibly convenient, there are times when you may want to turn off this feature, especially if you are concerned about privacy and security. In this article, we will explore how to disable Autofill on Safari, Apple's default web browser, on both iOS devices and Mac computers.

Safari Autofill stores and remembers information such as usernames, passwords, addresses, and credit card details, making it easier to fill in online forms and make purchases. However, there are valid reasons for wanting to disable this feature. For instance, if you share your device with others, you may not want your personal information to be readily accessible. Additionally, turning off Autofill can be a proactive step in safeguarding your sensitive data from potential security threats.

In the following sections, we will delve into two methods for turning off Autofill on Safari. The first method will focus on iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads, while the second method will guide Mac users through the process of disabling Autofill on their computers. Whether you're concerned about privacy, security, or simply prefer to manually enter your information each time, these methods will help you take control of your browsing experience. Let's dive into the step-by-step instructions for each platform and empower you to manage your Autofill settings effectively.

Method 1: Turning Off Autofill on iOS

Disabling Autofill on Safari for iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads, is a straightforward process that puts you in control of your browsing data. Whether you're concerned about privacy, security, or simply prefer to manually enter your information each time, following these steps will allow you to turn off Autofill and manage your browsing experience effectively.

Open Settings : Begin by unlocking your iOS device and locating the "Settings" app on your home screen. The Settings app is represented by a gear icon and is typically found on the first page of apps.

Navigate to Safari Settings : Scroll down the Settings menu until you find "Safari." Tap on "Safari" to access the browser's specific settings.

Access Autofill Settings : Within the Safari settings, scroll down to find the "Autofill" option. Tap on "Autofill" to enter the Autofill settings menu.

Disable Autofill : To turn off Autofill, simply toggle off the switches next to the Autofill options you wish to disable.

Whether you're concerned about privacy, security, or simply prefer a more manual approach to entering your information, turning off Autofill on iOS devices empowers you to customize your browsing preferences according to your needs and preferences.

Method 2: Turning Off Autofill on Mac

Disabling Autofill on Safari for Mac computers is a simple yet effective way to take control of your browsing data and enhance your privacy and security. Whether you share your Mac with others or simply prefer to manually enter your information, turning off Autofill can be a proactive step in safeguarding your sensitive data. Here's a detailed guide on how to disable Autofill on Safari for Mac, empowering you to manage your browsing experience according to your preferences.

Launch Safari Preferences : Start by opening the Safari browser on your Mac. In the top menu bar, click on "Safari" and select "Preferences" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Command + ," to access the Preferences window.

Access Autofill Settings : Within the Preferences window, navigate to the "Autofill" tab. Click on "Autofill" to access the Autofill settings for Safari.

Disable Autofill Options : In the Autofill settings, you will find various options such as "Using Contact Info," "Usernames and Passwords," and "Credit Cards." To turn off Autofill for any of these categories, simply uncheck the corresponding boxes. By doing so, Safari will no longer automatically populate forms with the selected information.

Manage Other Autofill Settings : Additionally, you can further customize your Autofill settings by clicking on the "Edit" buttons next to each category. This allows you to review and remove specific entries from the Autofill storage, providing you with granular control over the information Safari uses to fill in forms.

Save Changes : Once you have disabled the desired Autofill options, simply close the Preferences window. Your changes will be automatically saved, and Safari will no longer autofill forms with the selected information.

By following these steps, you can effectively disable Autofill on Safari for your Mac, giving you greater control over your browsing experience and ensuring that your personal information is not automatically populated in online forms. Whether you're concerned about privacy, security, or simply prefer a more manual approach to entering your information, turning off Autofill on Mac empowers you to customize your browsing preferences according to your needs and preferences.

This straightforward process puts you in charge of your browsing data, allowing you to manage your Autofill settings with ease and confidence. With Autofill disabled, you can enjoy a more personalized and secure browsing experience on your Mac.

In conclusion, managing Autofill settings on Safari for both iOS devices and Mac computers provides users with the flexibility to customize their browsing experience according to their preferences and security considerations. By following the step-by-step methods outlined in this article, individuals can effectively disable Autofill and take control of their personal information.

Turning off Autofill on iOS devices involves accessing the Safari settings, navigating to the Autofill options, and disabling the specific categories such as contact information, usernames and passwords, and credit card details. This empowers users to prevent Safari from automatically populating forms with sensitive data, offering a more manual and secure approach to entering information on their iPhones and iPads.

Similarly, the process of disabling Autofill on Mac computers is streamlined through the Safari Preferences window. By unchecking the relevant Autofill options and managing specific entries, users can ensure that their personal information is not automatically filled in on web forms. This level of control enhances privacy and security, especially for those who share their Macs or prefer a more hands-on approach to entering data.

By taking these proactive steps to disable Autofill, users can mitigate potential privacy risks and safeguard their sensitive information from unauthorized access. Whether it's concerns about sharing devices with others, a preference for manual data entry, or a proactive stance on data security, the ability to manage Autofill settings empowers users to align their browsing experience with their individual needs and preferences.

In a digital landscape where privacy and security are paramount, the ability to customize Autofill settings on Safari reflects Apple's commitment to user control and data protection.

Clear Or Turn Off AutoFill In Safari On A Shared iPad or iPhone [iOS Tips]

By Rob LeFebvre • 12:00 pm, September 17, 2012

AutoFill Settings

One of the more useful features of modern browsing, the AutoFill function started on the desktop, then made its way to the iPhone and iPad a while ago. It lets your iOS device hold all the form data, populating the oft-repeated fields with your personal info like your name and address. That way, you don’t have to type it all in all the time, which is brilliant on a mobile device with a small touch-keyboard.

When you share a device, like I do with my iPad at home, you may not want to share this personal data. Until a proper multi-user experience comes to iOS, the best way to get around this is to clear out your personal info, and then turn off AutoFill. Here’s how.

Turn on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and launch the Settings app with a tap. Tap on the Safari button in the left-hand pane, and then tap on AutoFill, the second item in the list on the right.

Tap the Clear All button at the very bottom, first, to clear out any lingering data that might be on the device. You’ll need to confirm the deletion when a badge pops up to make sure you really want to do this. Then, tap the toggle buttons next to Use Contact Info and Names and Passwords, setting these to OFF.

And that’s it. Simple, right? If you want a middle-of-the-road approach, just disable Names and Passwords, leaving Contact Info ON, and you’ll have the benefit of AutoFill without the security risk of your iPhone storing sensitive passwords to web sites.

While this preference is disabled by default, you never know if someone has messed about with them when you weren’t looking, so it’s worth a quick peek to make sure you’re not saving data that you’d rather not.
