Chrome autofill now pulls information from your Gmail

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 17:20 · Archive

Chrome's autofill feature can now retrieve information from users' Gmail accounts to help complete online forms.

Google is expanding Chrome's autofill capabilities with an update that uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to retrieve information from users' Gmail accounts. The feature, which began rolling out today in the United States, can pull details such as flight confirmation numbers, hotel reservation information, tracking numbers, order numbers, and addresses from users' emails to suggest when filling out online forms.

The enhanced autofill builds on improvements Google made to the feature last year, which already included users' names, passport numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses from Google Accounts and Google Wallet. The new Gmail integration extends these capabilities by automatically searching a user's inbox for relevant information.

Users have control over the feature through Chrome's settings, where they can manage what information enhanced autofill can access or turn it off completely. Google notes that sensitive data presented as a suggestion remains encrypted. The update is available through Gemini in Chrome for users with Personal Intelligence enabled, rolling out across desktop, Android, and iOS versions of the browser in the United States.
