What is AutoFill?

AutoFill gives you the option to save your passwords, addresses, and payment cards so that the browser or other service can fill in forms for you. Rather than typing the same information over and over when you’re registering for a new account or buying something, AutoFill enters those details for you in just a few clicks. The Mozilla Firefox browser offers a built-in AutoFill, and password managers like LastPass also offer AutoFill along with extra features and security.

Why use AutoFill on Mozilla Firefox?

Similar to Firefox autocomplete, LastPass AutoFill eliminates time spent on typing repetitive information. By filling it in for you in a few clicks, you’ll be able to complete tasks much more quickly.

“I like that LastPass is easy to use and intuitive. It integrates well with all websites and allows me to keep secure encryption for all my personal and work-related accounts. It allows me to organize folders, share with others, and only memorizing one master password for all of those while keeping encryption secure is a relief.”
