Disable Autofill Payment Methods in Chrome
Disabling autofill payment methods in Chrome stops the browser from automatically filling in your credit card details on websites.
This setting controls whether Chrome saves and suggests payment information, like a Visa card ending in 1234, for online purchases.
Turning this off is a good privacy step, especially if you use public or shared computers. It prevents your sensitive financial data from being stored in the browser.
After you disable it, Chrome will stop asking to save new payment methods and won’t show your saved ones at checkout.
Turn off “Save and fill payment methods” in Chrome’s settings. Navigate to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Payment methods, then toggle the switch. This stops Chrome from saving and suggesting your payment information during online checkouts.
Enable/Disable Saving Credit Card Payment Methods in Chrome
You can stop Chrome from automatically saving and filling in your credit card details for online shopping by turning off its payment autofill feature in the browser’s settings. This guide shows you exactly how to disable Chrome autofill for payment methods, so your card information isn’t saved.
- Open Google Chrome browser.
- Type chrome://settings/payments into the address bar and press Enter to go there directly.
- Alternatively, click the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
- Select Autofill and passwords from the left menu.
- Click on Payment methods.
Chrome’s autofill payment feature saves and fills your payment details for online checkouts. To disable this payment feature, access Chrome’s settings. Locate the “Save and fill payment methods” switch and turn it off. This action prevents Chrome from suggesting saved credit card or bank account information, protecting your privacy by not automatically filling sensitive details on websites.
Enable / Disable save and fill payment methods in Chrome using the Registry
For users familiar with more advanced settings, you can prevent Chrome from saving payment information by using the Windows Registry Editor, a tool for modifying system settings. This method disables Chrome autofill by altering system-level settings, often seen on computers managed by work or school.
Open the Windows Registry first. Before making any changes, back up your registry or create a System Restore point as a safety measure in case something goes wrong.
Navigate to this path:
Computer\🗝️HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
If the Google or Chrome folders aren’t there, right-click on the Policies folder, choose New, then Key, and name the new key Google. Then repeat this for the Chrome key.
- Right-click in the Chrome folder.
- Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name it AutofillCreditCardEnabled.
- Double-click it and set the “Value data” to 0 to disable saving cards.
- Set it to 1 to enable it .
A computer restart may be needed for these changes to take effect. To revert these settings, delete the AutofillCreditCardEnabled entry.
