How to disable the Autofill feature

Introduction

The NordPass allows you to configure the Autofill feature settings with more granularity. This guide will show you how to disable the Autofill feature completely or for a particular item type, globally, or just for a few websites.

 

Here's what to do

How to disable Autofill suggestions globally

  1. Log in to the NordPass application, extension, or NordPass WebVault.
  2. Select the "cog icon" on the upper right side.
  3. Scroll down, select the "Autofill and Autosave control center" button, and choose the "Autofill" tab.
  4. Under the "Autofill controls" section, you can disable login details (password and passkeys), personal info, and credit card items autofill suggestions by toggling off the specific item type:

    Autofill controls settings with Login details, Instant login, Contact Info, Credit cards and Password Generator each toggled on, and an Autofill via subdomain row
     

How to disable Autofill suggestions for a website

  1. Log in to the NordPass application, extension, or NordPass WebVault.
  2. Select the "cog icon" on the upper right side to access Settings.
  3. Scroll down, select the "Autofill and Autosave control center" button, and choose the "Autofill" tab.
  4. Under the "Disabled autofill websites" section, you can use the input field to either search one of the websites that are already on the list or add a new website URL to the table:

    Disabled autofill websites panel with a Search or add websites field, an Add to list button, and example.com listed with Login details, Contact info and Credit cards checkboxes ticked

     
  5. By default, once the website is added, all the autofill options are disabled. If you want to disable autofill for a specific item type for a website and keep autofill for other types, uncheck the box next to those options.

    Note: If you disable one of the global settings, it will take precedence over the settings set for a website.
     
  6. You can re-enable all the autofill suggestions for a particular website by unchecking all the checkboxes or removing the website from the table by selecting the "Trash bin" button:

    Browser right-click menu with NordPass > Manage autofill > Autofill options for the website submenu expanded and Don't autofill any items highlighted in red above ticked Login Details, Instant login, Contact Info and Credit Card

     
  7. Alternatively, you can either disable or enable the Autofill feature via the contextual right-click menu in the browser; this will either disable or enable Autofill for all item types:

    Browser right-click menu with NordPass > Manage autofill submenu open and Don't autofill this field highlighted in red, alongside Autofill options for the website and Adjust in settings

    Note: To change this, click on the "Adjust in settings" button, and you will be taken to the autofill and autosave controls center.

 

How to disable Autofill for a specific field

  1. Right-click on the chosen login field and choose the "NordPass" button.
  2. Afterwards, select the "Manage autofill" option, and click "Don't autofill this field":

    Browser right-click menu with NordPass > Manage autofill submenu open and Don't autofill this field highlighted in red, alongside Autofill options for the website and Adjust in settings

    Note: The settings for website Autofill and the settings for a singular login field do not sync. If the field's Autofill is disabled, then disabling or enabling Autofill for the website will not affect it.
