How to Enable Always Verify Autofill in Microsoft Edge
Always verify autofill in Microsoft Edge is a security setting that requires your Windows Hello (a biometric sign-in feature) PIN or password every time the browser enters saved credit card details. This extra check stops other people from using your stored payment data to buy items online if they gain access to your PC.
Microsoft Edge saves your credit card numbers to speed up online shopping across Windows 10 and Windows 11. Turning on this verification setting keeps your money safe from unauthorized purchases.
Open Microsoft Edge, click the three dots, then Settings. Select Profile, then Open Wallet. On the Wallet settings page, toggle “Always verify when using autofill” to On.
