| How to disable autofill |
| Autofill is a feature used by many computer browsers that automatically enters your information, so you don’t have to fill out fields over and over again. This can sometimes cause an issue when you are creating forms on the Trust Shop website. That’s because autofill can replace your answers with incorrect info (that autofill thinks is correct). This most commonly happens with dates, billing information, and passwords. |
| Follow these instructions, to make sure this doesn’t happen to you. |
| Select your Operating System |
