Deleting autofill entries does not work per article. The info is still there. Clearing history does not work either. Do I need to restart computer for it to forget/delete entries? Thank you. Fred couvrette

Its like it says AutoFill when enable has the info still you need to disable that to insure it doesn't save login. AutoFill/AutoSave is either on or off there is no in-between. When Auto settings is disable you need to clear the cache and history to insure there is nothing saved.

You can use these steps to remove saved items from an autocomplete drop-down list.

  1. click the (empty) input field on the webpage to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press "Delete" or "Shift+Delete" to delete the highlighted entry

Note that hovering with the mouse doesn't work.
