Enable or disable AutoFill for Addresses and Credit Cards in Edge on Windows 11/10

Autofill helps you fill up an online form quicker than ever. But if you do not want to store your credit card details, you can disable Autofill in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11/10.

The new Microsoft Edge browser, based on Chromium,  is one of the best browsers for Windows 11/10 and some other platforms, allowing users to browse the internet without any problem. Like passwords, you can autofill all the addresses and credit card fields in the Edge browser. This tutorial helps you enable or disable them via the Registry Editor and the Local Group Policy Editor.

It is recommended to create a backup of Registry files before making any change in the Registry Editor.
