How to Test Autofill
AutoFill, or AutoComplete, is a handy feature that comes preloaded with most web browsers. It allows users to save data entered into commonly-visited websites and address and payment forms. Once you've typed copy into a search box or field and pressed "Enter," your web browser will remember the entry you've made so it can enter it automatically on your next visit to the site or when you're asked for personal information like your name, phone number or email address.
