What Does Autofill Mean?

Autofill is a function in some computer applications typically containing forms, most notably web browsers, which fills in the fields automatically according to the information that the user has previously used. This works on most common forms for fields such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses, which saves the user time compared to manually having to type the same information every time a different website asks for it.
