While using Microsoft Edge, you have the option to manage the personal information it uses to quickly fill out forms online. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process.
Often, when you’re filling out a form on a website, you’ll see the browser offering to auto-fill information like your name, address, phone number, or email. This is because Microsoft Edge can remember these details from the forms you’ve filled out before.
Autofill can certainly make things more convenient, especially during online shopping or when signing up for new accounts. However, you might want to manage this data to fix errors, add new information, or simply remove it for privacy concerns.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to manage your personal information stored in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 or 10.
