Autofill forms

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.
