Disable autofill in your browser

Updated this week

Autofill is a common feature enabled in modern web browsers. It allows your browser to fill in text forms on web pages with saved information that you often use, such as your address, name, payment details, username, and password.

However, when you frequently log in to different platforms and use different usernames or passwords for those services, the browser may not be smart enough to understand that the username field on one site is different. A username field on another site. For this reason, you may want to disable these autofill features.

You can find below methods for disabling autofill on web browsers supported by Synergy.
