Autofill helps things flow smoothly when you're online, whether you're working or having fun. It’s why you no longer need to type your passwords, credit card details, or personal information in online forms or think of complex passwords that are hard to remember. We’re always looking for ways to improve this beloved feature, and we’re happy to announce that the Autofill experience has gotten even more convenient.

Why is Autofill so cool?
Nothing is more annoying than manually typing out online forms. Usually, when you sign up for an online service, you need to type out your username, password, personal information, and sometimes even your credit card details. If the website takes security seriously, it may also ask you to prove your identity with additional authentication methods. This is especially true when it comes to online shopping.
So, say you reach the final steps of purchase and you’re already pretty annoyed. Fortunately, Autofill effectively deals with the nuisance of filling out online forms, making it a smooth and seamless experience.
Powered by machine learning, Autofill constantly evolves and adapts, accurately identifying and filling fields in various forms, including sign-ups, logins, credit card details, and personal information. This ensures Autofill remains highly reliable, aiming to deliver perfect accuracy over time.
Pro tips: How to make the most of Autofill
Log in with a single click
Thanks to the Instant Login feature on desktop, NordPass allows you to skip all the annoying steps required to log in to a chosen website: landing on the page, selecting credentials, and performing on-page actions. Now, a single click is all it takes. All you have to do is follow a prompt to log in with NordPass.
If you choose not to log in using the Autofill feature, you'll be asked if you want to enable it for future access to the website. Choose yes to ensure an effortless login experience. Alternatively, you can leave it disabled or even turn Instant Login off altogether in the NordPass settings section.
If you have multiple accounts on the website, select the account you want to use first. In such a case — let’s be honest — logging in with Instant login takes two clicks.
Autofill all credit card details and personal information
Some websites require additional information to authenticate the user or confirm transactions. You may know the case from Amazon asking for an ID to verify your address or an online shop requiring a billing address or security questions regarding your company credit card. We salute every solution that enhances your online security, but looking for and writing down all these additional details can be quite annoying.
Luckily, the Custom Field feature — previously available with password items — is now expanded to credit cards, personal information, and secure notes on desktop and Android devices. NordPass will autofill the data from custom fields added to your items. This way, you won’t have to look for your ID or credit card (if you even have it in a physical form, which is not always the case with business cards) whenever you want to buy something. Handy, right?
Bundle your websites or apps
Having separate password entries for apps from the same company, like Facebook and Messenger, even if you use the same credentials for all, can clutter your NordPass vault. It also takes extra time and effort to manage, especially with multi-domain websites like Microsoft that are frequently used at work.
At NordPass, we focus on the simplicity of use. That's why we let you combine website addresses on your desktop, or app names on your mobile device, into a single password entry. This feature improves domain matching, making it easier to access your accounts across related domains. For example, NordPass can recognize microsoft.com and live.com as related, so you can access both without duplicating passwords. Instead of searching for each site individually, you'll find the login details for login.live.com under "Microsoft," and autofill will take care of the rest.
This feature, available on desktop and Android devices, helps simplify credential management. If you have multiple entries for related accounts with the same password item, you can merge them into one and delete the extras. Just be sure to manually remove the unnecessary entries.
Experience undisturbed flow
The best-in-class user experience takes constant improvements. Take a look at how Autofill makes accessing online accounts easier and quicker.
Subdomain matching
The Subdomain Matching feature — available on desktop and Android devices — will prove invaluable if you use multiple subdomains at work (like department-specific sections of a company website). It’s designed to identify and autofill correct login information for each subdomain, ensuring a seamless access experience by removing the hassle of having to select from multiple login options every single time. You can enable or disable Subdomain Matching in the NordPass settings section according to your needs.
Customizable autofill
You can adjust the autofill settings at any time by clicking the three dots in the autofill drop-down list. This allows you to choose a different item to autofill, search for the right one, or change how NordPass interacts with specific fields. Plus, you can use this feature to give direct feedback to the NordPass team.
Disable autofill
To disable autofill on specific pages or fields, just right-click the input field and choose “Don’t autofill on this website” or “Don’t autofill this field.” This way, you can control when autofill is used, keeping your workflow smooth and uninterrupted.
What else to expect?
The Autofill may have already suggested using Email Masking or a Password Generator tool during the login process. Please note, that you can take advantage of both without leaving the page; NordPass will automatically save your new strong passwords as well as email masks.
On Desktop, we’ve introduced prompts to inform you in case you enter an unprotected website or log in with weak or reused passwords. The prompts can also warn you about breached websites to help you secure your accounts and resolve the breach on NordPass. However, if you don’t want to get these, you can now turn them off permanently in the “Notifications” settings section.
