How To Enable and Disable Autofill in Google Chrome [2026 Guide]

I’m going to teach you how to enable and disable the Autofill feature in Google Chrome.

This handy feature can make your browsing experience easier by automatically completing forms with information like your name, address, or credit card details. However, there may be times when you prefer to enter these details manually for privacy reasons. If you are tightening security, you may also want to enable HTTPS-Only Mode in Chrome.

Enable and Disable Autofill in Google Chrome [2026 Guide]

Open Chrome

First, open your Google Chrome browser. If you haven’t already, make sure it’s updated to get the best performance and security features.

Go to Settings

Navigate to the top right corner of the window where you’ll see three vertical dots. This is your menu button.

Click it to reveal a drop-down menu. Click Settings to open a page with options that let you customize your Chrome experience.

On the Settings page, you’ll notice a sidebar on the left. If the sidebar isn’t visible, click the left arrow at the top of the Settings page.

Look for the section labeled Autofill. In some versions, you might find this option grouped under Privacy and security. Click Autofill to enter its settings.

Autofill categories

Chrome breaks down the Autofill settings into three main categories: Passwords, Payment methods, and Addresses and more.

Addresses and contact info

Click Addresses and more and you’ll see a toggle at the top of the page. If the toggle is blue and switched to the right, that means Autofill is enabled. To disable it, click the toggle so it turns gray and shifts to the left.

Payment methods

Go back to the top of the Autofill settings and click Payment methods. Here you can decide whether you want Chrome to save and fill your payment methods by using the toggle in the same way.

Passwords

For Passwords, you can manage whether Chrome remembers your login credentials by clicking Passwords and selecting your desired setting with the toggle.

Privacy choices

Adjust these settings according to your needs and privacy preferences. Keeping Autofill enabled might save you time, but disabling it for certain fields can offer greater control over personal data security. For more privacy control, you can also manage geolocation settings in Chrome.

Final thoughts

And there you have it. With just a few clicks, you can enable or disable the Autofill feature in Google Chrome. You can always change these settings anytime you need to.
