How to Turn On or Off Always verify option for Autofill in Microsoft Edge

This article explains enabling or disabling the “Always verify when using autofill” option in the Microsoft Edge browser.

The Microsoft Edge browser is the default browser in Windows 11. However, users can switch to their preferred or favorite browser anytime. Edge is based on Chromium, similar to Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers today.

Edge has a feature that automatically fills your address and credit card details online. This feature helps speed up checkouts at purchasing time.

To ensure unauthorized credit usage, there’s also a feature that allows you always to verify when using autofill. When enabled, you will be asked to verify your identity before Microsoft Edge enters your card details.

Enabling the “Always verify when using autofill” option in Microsoft Edge provides an extra layer of security to protect your personal information. This means you will be asked to verify your identity every time before the browser enters your credit card details.

This can help prevent unauthorized usage of your credit card information. However, some users may find this feature to be an inconvenience, and they may choose to disable it.

Disabling the “Always verify” option will allow the browser to automatically fill in your credit card details without requiring verification every time you purchase.
