The AutoFill feature requires a bit of setup to use. If you just want to store your username and password for websites that ask for this information, such as when accessing email through a website such as Google's Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, all you need to do is turn the AutoFill feature on for names and passwords.
But if you want Safari to automatically fill in information such as your address and phone number, you'll need to give your iPad this information. This contact information is stored in the Contacts app, and this AutoFill feature is called Contact Info.
To turn both of these features of AutoFill on, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.
Tap Safari. The Safari settings screen appears.
Tap AutoFill. The AutoFill settings screen appears.
Tap the Use Contact Info on/off switch to turn it ON (or OFF).
Tap My Info. A Contacts window appears, listing all the names stored in your Contacts app, as shown in Figure 15-1. If you don't already have your own information in Contacts, go to the Home screen, tap Contacts, and add your name using the plus sign (+).
Tap a name that contains the contact information you want Safari to type in automatically. The AutoFill screen appears again.
Tap the Names and Passwords on/off switch so it reads ON (or OFF).
