If you find yourself often forgetting passwords for online shopping accounts, membership logins, and more, the AutoFill feature on your iPad  is great.

AutoFill allows users to save passwords and personal information entered on Safari, and uses that data to automatically fill in forms — and even access that data across all your devices using iCloud. 

The AutoFill feature is easy to enable in your iPad 's Settings app, where you can also review, edit, and delete passwords you no longer need.

Additionally, you can disable the feature with a simple switch if you no longer wish to use it. You can also do this from your iPhone or from your Mac computer .

Here's how to do it on your iPad .

3. If the AutoFill feature is turned on, you will see a green switch labeled "AutoFill Passwords." To turn this off, tap or slide the switch to turn it white.

4. Tap "Website & App Passwords" at the top of the list to view what's already saved. The gray number on the right-hand side shows how many entries have already been saved using AutoFill.

5. Based on your security settings, you may be prompted to enter your passcode or Face/Touch ID. Enter your passcode or biometrics if asked, which will bring you to a list of all of your AutoFill passwords.

6. To delete an entry, first swipe left until a red "Delete" option appears.

7. Tap "Delete" to confirm.

8. You can also tap on any password to view its individual details.

9. Tap "Change Password on Website" to bring you to its webpage on Safari.

What this means is that the password will still be saved, but your iPhone won't associate it with any website. Tap the red minus symbol to the left of a website name to erase it. Most passwords are only linked to one website, but some — like university logins — may connect to multiple, similar pages.

11. Tap "Done" in the upper-left hand corner when you're finished.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

macOS and iOS: How to Turn Off Safari Autofill

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.

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 .

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.

Submitted by Frank Macey on December 8, 2021 - 12:46pm

How to Use AutoFill in the Safari Browser

Save time filling out web forms

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.

How to Block YouTube on iPad (2024 Guide)

• To block the YouTube app on an iPad, go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions -> Content Restrictions -> Apps > 9+.
• To block YouTube on Safari on an iPad, go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions -> Content Restrictions -> Web Content -> Limit Adult Website -> Never Allow -> Add Website.
• You can also use Guided Access or set a time limit to restrict YouTube on iPad.

Method 1: Block YouTube App using Screen Time Settings

Note: While it’s an easy way to block the YouTube app on an iPad, it has a drawback too. Along with YouTube, this method will hide all the apps on your iPad that have an age rating of 12 or above. So, proceed only if you’re ready to bear with this.

• Open the Settings app on your iPad and visit the Screen Time section.
• You must set up Screen Time on your iPad if you haven’t already.
• Now, tap on Content & Privacy Restrictions.

• Make sure the Content & Privacy Restrictions toggle is turned On. Tap on Content Restrictions .

• Here, choose Apps.

• Now, set the limit to 9+ or something lesser than it.

Going forward your iPhone will only show apps that have an age rating of 9+ or lower. Since YouTube has an age rating of 12+, it will be blocked on your iPad. If the YouTube app isn’t installed already, these restrictions won’t allow you to download it from the App Store.

Method 2: Block YouTube in Safari

• On your iPad, go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions.
• Here, tap on Content Restrictions and enter your Screen Time Passcode.
• Next, tap on Web Content to restrict YouTube on your iPad.

• Choose Limit Adult Websites . This option will block all adult websites in Safari, Google, and other browsers on your iPad.
• Since YouTube isn’t an adult website, it won’t be blocked by default. Under, “ Never Allow “, tap on Add Website , and type “youtube.com”.

Method 3: Set a Time Limit for YouTube

Here are the steps to block the YouTube app on iPad after a specific time limit:

• On your iPad, visit Settings -> Screen Time and choose App Limits.

• Here, tap on Add Limit and punch in the Screen Time Passcode.

• Now, tap on the small arrow next to Entertainment , choose YouTube , and tap on Next.

• Next up, set the desired time limit for YouTube and turn on the “ Block at End of Limit” toggle.
• Finally, tap on Add to make the changes.

• Go to Screen Time -> App Limits > Add Limit.

• Enter the Screen Time Passcode and choose Websites from the list of options.

• Now, tap on Add Website, type “YouTube.com”, and hit the Next option.

• Finally, set a time limit and tap on Add to save the changes.

Method 4: Use Guided Access to Restrict YouTube

• To use Guided Access on an iPad, go to  Settings -> Accessibility -> Guided Access .

• Here, turn On the Guided Access toggle.
• After this, go to  Passcode Settings  and  Time Limits  to choose a passcode and set a time limit for your guided session.

This is one of the best hidden iOS tricks that limits what you can see and what you can do on the screen.

Method 5: Remove YouTube and Block App Installs

Note: This method will hide the App Store icon on your device to prevent any new app downloads.

• From the Home Screen, long-press the YouTube app icon . This will bring up a quick action menu. Tap on Remove App -> Delete App -> Delete.

• Now, head to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions.

• Here, tap on iTunes & App Store Purchases and choose Installing Apps.

• Finally, choose Don’t Allow.
