There are 2 ways to enter data on the registration pages of any sites: manually enter your username and password, or use the automatic filling of the fields. Form autocompletion in Yandex browser is a helper function that saves user data in the browser storage and, if necessary, extracts information by inserting it on sites in the appropriate fields. Going to the page with the login forms, the Yandex browser independently recognizes and fills them in with the appropriate information.
The principle of the function is extremely simple:
The introduction of user data into the fields of the login form occurs with a high degree of accuracy, any errors in the input are extremely rare. Incorrect data entry can be caused by the presence of several accounts on the service, change or recovery of a forgotten password.
Is autofill safe in Yandex browser
The answer to the question is ambiguous. If you look from the point of view of a hacker, all the data entered into the browser can really be stolen. Trojans are used to steal personal data. Users who use the computer in public places are at greatest risk. When you enter the site, there is auto fill forms, it is not difficult to click on the "Show password" function and steal it. True, this functionality is not available on all sites.
If you compare safety Yandex browser with other browsers, there is an advantage here - secure password storage. Yandex has introduced the “Master Key” function into its product, which is a password for gaining access to the storage of information used to enter sites. Even if you gain access to your computer or steal a file with passwords from the system, you will have to enter the password to decrypt the records.
With modern computers based on Asics, cracking simple passwords takes a matter of seconds, but when installing: numbers, various symbols, letters of different case, with a password length of 12 characters or more, we are relatively safe. Decrypt so much complex password- an impossible task, it will take months, the hacker will simply give up.
Important! The greatest danger of theft of logins and passwords arises when a traffic interceptor enters the system, which sends data not only to the site, but also to the owner of the virus. Such a program can easily bypass the blocking with the master key, the only way fight - active antivirus in the system. One more thing - the master password must be set separately, by default it is not used.
To summarize: the function is relatively safe, but it still has vulnerabilities, it is especially easy to bypass it when gaining physical access to a PC. To store important data, it is better not to use the built-in storage, but to memorize passwords in your head or use more safe solutions such as the LastPass extension.
How to add data for autocomplete

If after entering the information into the browser, the login information was changed, you will have to manually change the password. Also, you manually add contact information.
Important! The browser has a function to save the card number. In general, it is convenient, but if other users have access to the computer, there is a risk of data theft.
