When you first enter information (such as name, address, or phone number) in the site form, Yandex Browser remembers it. The next time you enter it, the browser suggests autofill options. This way, Yandex Browser saves you time.
Privacy risks of autofill
If you share the computer with other people, they can open Yandex Browser, view your data, and log in to websites under your name. We recommend using Incognito mode or disabling autofill when you work on shared computers.
If malware gets access to autofill data, hackers may steal it.
Save autofill data automatically
Autofill is enabled by default in Yandex Browser.
Alert
If you don't want your autofill information to be saved in Yandex Browser on a particular site, use Incognito mode. If necessary, you can disable autofill in Yandex Browser.
Set autofill data manually
Add your bank card data, passwords, and personal information (such as your phone number, address, email, and so on) to Yandex Browser.
In the Autofill section, disable the Suggest form autofill option.
Autofill search queries
