in Edge Browser: How to Disable the new "Last Used" form suggestion, without turning off all forms saved data?

There is a new "feature" in Edge browser on forms data that is SUPER ANNOYING and I need to remove it.

Previously, Edge would save form data and allow you to click on a field and select from previously used information, it even prioritized the most commonly used data to the top of the list or allowed you to start typing and would narrow the results by partially typed info. However, there is now this "Last Used" option that shows up at the top, and auto fills in not only the field that you are trying to complete, but also auto fills all other forms fields with the exact same data as last used. This would be a good idea for a single commonly used set of data, unfortunately I use Edge Browser at work and need to fill in some fields with unique customer data (such as a company name, ticket number, serial number, etc.) on every form, and other fields from a small list of possible options (like a model number for a product). With this new "feature" it will overwrite previously filled in data fields with the last used data if you accidentally click on this option. SO I start filling out a form, input a new customer name, address, ticket number, then accidentally click on Last Used in another field, and it overwrites the previously entered data, deleting the correctly input information with now incorrect info, and I have to then clear the incorrect data and re-enter the correct data AGAIN and make sure not to accidentally click on "Last Used" by accident AGAIN or I have to start all over AGAIN.

I can't see any option to turn off JUST the Last Used option, without having to turn off ALL form suggestions, meaning I now have to type out all the commonly used fields manually every time.

Does anyone know how to turn off this horrible feature that I never asked for and absolutely HATE?

If Not, my only other option is to install a totally different Browser.

Microsoft, you are forcing me to use Google Chrome or Firefox unless you remove this useless any harmful feature, or at least give me an option to turn it off.

This does not solve the mentioned problem. We just want to disable the "last used" - Feature in Autofill.

You are not understanding the problem. I am NOT trying to add or edit a single address, I use this browser for work and have THOUSNADS of customer addresses saved. I also do NOT want to turn off all auto fill options. The problem is a new "Feature" was added to automatically re-use the last set of data input into multiple fields all at the same time. And that is what I DON'T want to see any more. this is NOT a benefit to me, it is actually quite annoying.

It is so annoying that I have already switched to using google Chrome browser. I was able to export and import my bookmarks, and saved passwords from Edge to Chrome. However, I could export my saved forms data as a JSON file, but could not find a way of importing that file into Chrome.

If you can't help me with how to remove the "Use Last" option from Edge, then can you at least tell me how to export and import the saved forms data from Edge into Chrome?

I am having precisely the same issue since the implementation of this feature. If it cannot be disabled, I too will need to switch browsers. I can't think of a scenario in which this function would ever be useful. I'm sure there is some application for it, but for my day-to-day work, it is a pretty significant impediment.

The only time I could see this as being a benefit is if you only used Edge for a single person like on a home PC and you do need to fill in your own name, address, or other info and wanted to auto fill it in with a single click because the information is never going to change.

However, for a business user with many different sets of data to select from, it is a pretty rare occurrence to need to input the exact same full set of information, multiple times in a row. And to make this the default function that shows up first, is a massive inconvenience for a large number of users.

FYI, I am writing this reply from Firefox (also tried Chrome but didn't like it for other reasons) because I have already stopped using Edge browser. If this problem ever gets fixed. I might switch back to Edge, but Microsoft would need to fix it soon, before I get too used to the new default browser.

I am also facing this issue in my workplace. I am dealing with thousands of clients and have had to disable it entirely as I work for a financial institution - if documents are sent to the wrong client by this "Last Used" thing accidentally being hit I could be in huge trouble as it would breach the Privacy Act.

Really hope we can get an option to turn this off and go back to the way it was before, as our IT Management does not allow us to use any other browsers and going back to manually writing things out is seriously impacting my workflow.

This is NOT the answer to the question Jesse asked. READ THE QUESTION. Seriously. This is a new feature that we need to know how to disable, because it is causing problems. READ THE ORIGINAL POST.

Sorry for shouting but come ON.

Hi ALL,

"Automatically fill my info on sign up forms" in the Microsoft Edge browser does not provide the ability to block individual sites, which may be due to design.

Microsoft takes every issue from users very seriously. You may feedback your problem in the Microsoft Edge browser. Open the problematic page in the Microsoft Edge browser, then use the shortcut keys "Alt" + "Shift" + "I" to open the feedback window (Note that the feedback window will capture the current screen and URL link and email address, and you can add Attachment and record your problem), enter your problem, and click "Send".
