How to disable autofill and autosave

The NordPass allows you to configure the autofill and autosave settings with more granularity. You can decide yourself if you want to disable either of the features completely or a particular item type, globally or just for a few websites.

This feature can be found in the settings, under the Autofill and autosave controls center option.

Note: This feature is currently available on the browser extension with version 5.25 or later.

• Autofill controls
  

  Autofill controls allow you to choose how you want autofill suggestions to behave. You can choose to disable or enable it globally, meaning that the suggestions will be affected on all of the websites, or choose to do that for each website separately. Additionally, this can be done per item type, which means that, for example, you can keep autofill suggestions for your passwords, but disable it for personal info or credit card items.
  
  

  Note: if you disable autofill, we by default do not suggest autosave as well for that website or that item type.

In the example screenshot below, the Autofill for Personal info is enabled on the website, but is disabled by global setting. The value next to the website is grayed as it has no effect on the website at the moment.
