How do I shut-off the auto-fill? I don't like that important numbers and info is suggested openly on my computer.

For example, I don't want my email or my credit card number to show up when I begin typing info for those numbers. How do I stop the auto-fill function or turn it off--it seems like this security issue.

You may want to use Clear Recent History to clear already stored form data.
