By default, Microsoft Edge offers to save addresses and automatically fill out address details the next time you want to complete web forms online. The AutoFill feature lets users auto-complete home or business addresses in web forms using previously stored information. This can be convenient but can also lead to your address information being compromised. When using Windows 10, you can turn off or disable this feature for all users on the system so that addresses and other details are never automatically saved and are not used to auto-complete web forms.
