Here’s how you can utilize Chrome for autofilling flight information, vehicle details, and more.
Essential points to note:
– Google is enhancing Chrome’s autofill capabilities to improve integration with Wallet and your Google Account.
– Chrome can now store your enhanced autofill data in Wallet for effortless access across multiple Google services.
– Additionally, it’s revamping the way autofill suggestions are displayed on mobile to make them simpler to read and select.
Google announced today in a blog post that it is updating Chrome with new autofill features aimed at streamlining the process of filling out forms and completing purchases during the holiday period. These improvements enhance autofill, the upgraded feature that was introduced in November for Chrome users worldwide. Enhanced autofill first provided support for driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, license plate numbers, and VINs.
Now, Google is broadening Chrome’s enhanced autofill to enable the saving of vehicle information to Google Wallet. This capability connects your vehicle data to Google Wallet after you input it on a supported form in Chrome for desktop, allowing it to be accessed on any device signed into your Google account.
Chrome is achieving deeper integration with Google Wallet overall to simplify securing holiday travel arrangements. The browser can extract information saved in your Wallet, such as a confirmation or ticket number from your flight’s boarding pass. Furthermore, Chrome now has access to loyalty card details stored in Wallet on both desktop and the Android app.
The Android version of the Chrome app is receiving a significant enhancement that will expedite the form-filling process. The app will feature a two-line display for autofill suggestions, making it clearer what autofill data you are about to enter before selection. For instance, an address saved in autofill will now be displayed with both the name and address in a two-line format. The same applies to passwords and payment methods, clarifying which account or card is being used in the Chrome app.
Google states that this new autofill format for forms resolves an issue where autofill suggestions appeared overly condensed in the Chrome app for Android.
Chrome will also collaborate more closely with your Google Account to securely access your name and email address as long as you’re signed in. This functionality will also cover your home and work addresses, provided they are saved in your Google Account. While autofill could previously manage these data types, the extended support is beneficial when utilized on new devices. Users only need to log into their account in Chrome to see their information displayed instantly.
Lastly, for users around the globe, Chrome is enhancing its comprehension of address formats globally, including “between streets” in Mexico and phonetic names in Japan.
These enhancements are currently being rolled out in Chrome for both desktop and mobile, and they may help you save time during the hectic holiday season.
