Where to find and edit your autofill settings

Your iPhone stores autofill information in Settings under Passwords and autofill. Open Settings, scroll down to Passwords, then tap Passwords and autofill. From there you can edit contact details, payment methods, and passwords that Safari and other apps use to fill in forms.

The autofill data lives in three places: contact information (your name, phone number, email, and address), payment methods (credit and debit cards), and saved passwords. Each section works the same way — you tap it, select what you want to change, and edit the details directly.

Key Takeaways

  • Autofill settings are in Settings > Passwords and autofill, not in Safari settings or iCloud settings.
  • You can edit your contact card by tapping "My Info" and selecting your name from Contacts, then updating any field in that contact.
  • Payment methods are edited by tapping the card, then tapping Edit in the top right and changing the details.
  • Deleting a saved password or payment method removes it from autofill but does not delete it from your bank or payment service.
  • Changes sync across your devices if you use the same Apple ID and have iCloud Keychain turned on.

How to change your contact information for autofill

Go to Settings > Passwords and autofill > Contact Info. You will see "My Info" at the top. Tap it, then select your name from your Contacts. This opens your contact card. Tap Edit in the top right corner and change any field — name, phone number, email, address, or any other detail you want autofill to use.

If you do not see your name in the list, you can create a new contact or select a different contact to use as your autofill card. Once you save the changes, Safari and compatible apps will use the updated information the next time they offer to autofill a form.

How to change or remove a saved payment method

Go to Settings > Passwords and autofill > Payment Methods. You will see all the cards you have saved. Tap the card you want to change. Tap Edit in the top right. You can now change the cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and security code.

To remove a card entirely, tap the card, then tap Delete Payment Method at the bottom. The card will no longer appear when Safari offers to autofill payment information. This does not affect your actual bank account or card — it only removes it from your iPhone's autofill list.

How to change a saved password

Go to Settings > Passwords and autofill > Passwords. Find the account whose password you want to change — you can search by website or app name at the top. Tap the account, then tap Edit in the top right. The password field will be hidden; tap it to reveal the current password, then tap the pencil icon next to it to edit.

After you change the password in this field, the next time you log into that website or app, your iPhone will ask if you want to update the saved password. You can also delete a saved password by tapping Edit, then tapping the red minus button next to the password field.

How to turn autofill on or off for different types of information

In Settings > Passwords and autofill, you will see toggles for each autofill type: Autofill Passwords, Autofill Payment Methods, and Autofill Contact Info. Turn any of these on or off to control what Safari and apps can autofill. You can also toggle Use Face ID or Use Touch ID to require biometric authentication before autofill fills in sensitive information like passwords or payment details.

Turning off a toggle does not delete the saved information — it just prevents autofill from using it. You can turn it back on at any time, and all your saved data will still be there.

How autofill syncs across your devices

If you use the same Apple ID on multiple devices and have iCloud Keychain turned on, your autofill information syncs automatically. Changes you make on your iPhone appear on your iPad, Mac, and other signed-in devices within a few minutes. To check that iCloud Keychain is on, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Keychain and make sure the toggle is on.

If you change autofill information on one device and it does not appear on another, check that both devices are signed into the same Apple ID and that iCloud Keychain is enabled on both. If you have turned off iCloud Keychain, autofill information stays only on that device and does not sync.

What to do if autofill is not working

If Safari or an app is not offering to autofill information you know you have saved, first check that the autofill toggle for that type of information is on in Settings > Passwords and autofill. Then check that you are using Safari or an app that supports autofill — some apps do not work with iPhone autofill.

If autofill is on but still not appearing, try closing the app or Safari completely and opening it again. If the problem continues, restart your iPhone. If you have multiple contact cards saved, make sure "My Info" is set to the contact you want to use for autofill — autofill only uses the contact you have selected there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have multiple contact cards for autofill?

No. Autofill uses only one contact card at a time — the one you have selected as "My Info" in Settings > Passwords and autofill > Contact Info. You can change which contact is used as "My Info" at any time, but autofill will only pull from that one card.

If I delete a saved password, do I lose access to my account?

No. Deleting a saved password from your iPhone only removes it from autofill. Your actual account password does not change. You can still log in by typing your password manually, and you can save it again the next time you log in if you want.

Will my bank or credit card company know if I change my card details in autofill?

No. Autofill is stored only on your iPhone. Changing card information in autofill does not notify your bank or card issuer. If you want to update your actual card details with a merchant or service, you need to do that through their website or app separately.

Can I autofill information on websites that are not in Safari?

Some apps support autofill, but not all. Apps must be built to use iOS autofill features. If an app does not offer autofill, you will need to type the information manually or copy and paste it from your Contacts or Notes.
