Disable Autofill Addresses in Chrome
You disable autofill addresses in Chrome by adjusting your browser settings to prevent it from automatically populating forms with your stored personal information.
Chrome’s autofill feature saves time by quickly filling in details like your name, address, and email on websites you visit. You manage these saved addresses directly within Chrome’s preferences.
This is a useful privacy step if you share your computer or want to prevent outdated information from appearing. You can find these specific controls under the “Autofill and passwords” section in Chrome’s settings menu.
To disable autofill addresses in Chrome, go to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Addresses and more. Use the toggle switch to turn off “Save and fill addresses.” This stops Chrome from saving and suggesting your contact information on websites.
Enable/Disable Saving Addresses in Chrome
You can stop Chrome from saving and suggesting addresses you’ve used before by changing a simple setting in the browser.
Follow these steps to change your settings:
- Open the Google Chrome browser.
- Click the Customize and control icon (three vertical dots) in the top right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Click on Autofill and passwords in the left-hand menu.
- Click on the Addresses and more tile.
- Use the toggle switch to enable or disable Save and fill addresses.
You can close the settings tab once you are done.
Enable / Disable save and fill addresses in Chrome using the Registry
If you manage computers for a company, you can stop Chrome from saving and filling addresses for everyone by making a change in the Windows Registry.
To use this method, open the Windows Registry and go to the following path:
Computer\🗝️HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
Remember to back up your registry before making any changes, or create a System Restore point as a precaution.
If you don’t see the Google or Chrome folders, right-click the Policies key and choose to create them. Right-click Chrome, choose ‘New,’ then ‘DWORD (32-bit) Value.’ Name it ‘AutofillAddressEnabled.’
Set the value to 0 to turn the feature off, or 1 to turn it on. What happens when you are done? Restart Chrome, or type chrome://restart into the address bar to apply the changes.
To revert to the default, delete the AutofillAddressEnabled entry.
