Disable Browser Auto-fill and Auto-Complete

Please remember to follow the steps for the browser your using

How does this setting affect OPS-COM?

When using OPS-COM to complete a User Profile, the browser's auto-complete feature can cause problems by automatically filling in fields with incorrect or unwanted information. This can lead to errors if unnoticed data is saved by mistake. To avoid this issue, you should turn off the auto-complete feature in your browser.

Some browser plug-ins, such as password managers, may also act as auto-complete utilities and cause similar issues. If disabling auto-complete doesn’t resolve the problem, review your installed plug-ins and disable them as needed.
