# 🧰Tools / Miscellaneous # Disable Browser Auto-fill and Auto-Complete ### How does this setting affect OPS-COM? When using OPS-COM to complete User Profile, we are filling out forms with information for other people that is different each time. Auto-complete can become a nuisance by filling in fields you don't want filled in or even popping data that you don't notice. This data gets saved in the profile by mistake. To avoid this issue, we suggest turning off this feature in your browser. See the screenshot below: [![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/KNLimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/KNLimage.png)
There are also some plug-ins that can cause this issue. Password keepers for example are essentially auto-complete utilities. If you are still experiencing similar auto-complete issues after turning off auto-complete you may want to review your installed plugins to see if turning them off fixes the problem.
