Chrome autofill can now pull details from your Gmail, and you can switch it off in Chrome's settings. Google announced the feature, called [enhanced autofill](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/chrome/enhanced-autofill-gmail/), on October 28, 2026. This guide covers what Chrome autofill with Gmail does, who gets it, and the exact steps Google's help page gives for turning it on, off or removing a suggestion. Google's announcement says enhanced autofill uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to suggest things like order numbers, tracking information and flight bookings from Gmail while you fill out a form. Regular autofill, for your name, address and card number, works as before and is a separate setting. ## Who can use Chrome autofill with Gmail Google's [Chrome Help page](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893) lists the requirements, as read on October 28, 2026. Enhanced autofill is available on desktop, Android and iOS for Gemini in Chrome users in the US who are 18 or older and have opted into Gemini Personal Intelligence. Google's blog post says the rollout is only beginning, so you may not see it yet even if you qualify. Google has not said when it will reach other countries. ## How to turn on enhanced autofill in Chrome Google's help page does not give a separate "turn on" procedure. It describes one switch, and the same switch is used to turn the feature off. The page says enhanced autofill needs Gemini Personal Intelligence to be turned on first, but the pages we read do not say how to do that. Check Gemini's own settings for it. Once you are eligible, suggestions appear in the form field dropdown with a Gemini spark icon, per the help page. The steps below are the ones it documents for managing the feature. ## How to turn off Chrome autofill from Gmail On a computer, per Google's help page: 1. Open Chrome. 2. At the top right, select More, then Settings, then Autofill and passwords. 3. Under "Autofill settings," select Enhanced autofill. 4. Turn "Find and fill with Gemini" on or off. Google's blog post says you can manage whether enhanced autofill is enabled and what it can access through Chrome settings. The help page documents only the one toggle above. It does not describe a separate Gmail-only switch, and it does not give phone steps for the toggle beyond saying you adjust Chrome settings. If you want to stop Chrome from using Gmail at all, turning this toggle off is the documented route. ## How to turn off regular Chrome autofill Standard autofill is separate from the Gmail feature. Google's help page says "save and fill" is on by default for passwords, payments, contact info, identity docs and travel. 1. Open Chrome on your computer. 2. At the top right, select More, then Passwords and autofill. You can also select your profile picture, then Passwords and autofill. 3. Pick a category, such as Payments or Contact info. 4. Turn "Save and fill" off for that category. Google says that if you turn this off, autofill won't work for that info. To delete everything you have saved, open More, choose Delete browsing data, pick a time range, and under Advanced select Autofill form data. Google notes this does not remove payment info and addresses stored in Google Pay, or info in Google Wallet. ## How to see where a suggestion came from Each Gemini suggestion can be traced back to an email. The help page gives these steps: 1. In the form field, open the suggestion dropdown. 2. Hover over the Gemini suggestion to open its menu. 3. Select the link to the original source. The email opens in a new tab in Gmail. To get rid of a suggestion that is wrong or out of date, use the same menu and select Remove from Chrome. Google says removing a suggestion does not delete the email, but deleting the original email does remove the suggestion. Info pulled from Gmail can't be edited in Chrome. ## If Chrome autofill is not working Google's help page lists these checks for regular autofill: - Make sure "Save and fill" is on for the type of info you want filled. - Check the name and email shared from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/personal-info. - Re-enter your credentials if a passkey or PIN check fails. Chrome can't reach sensitive info until you do. - Check the site. Chrome may not detect some fields on a secure site, and a site that is not secure enough may not be able to receive info from Chrome. - For info from Google Wallet, make sure "Use passes across Google" is on. For the Gmail feature, the help page notes it works only in the regions and accounts listed above. If you do not see Gemini suggestions, check that first. ## What Google has not said Google says sensitive data is encrypted and that you remain in control. The announcement does not explain the technical protections. It does not link a support page for the feature, and it does not say how long suggestions are kept or whether Chrome stores the Gmail data it reads. TechCrunch also [reported the launch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/28/chromes-ai-powered-autofill-can-now-dig-through-your-gmail-to-fill-out-forms/) on October 28. Chrome's help page also describes a separate "Verify it's you when filling sensitive info" setting, on by default, that asks for a screen lock or biometric check before Chrome fills in sensitive details. It sits in the same Autofill settings area on desktop. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Chrome autofill safe? Google says sensitive data used by enhanced autofill is encrypted and that you stay in control through Chrome settings. The announcement does not detail the protections, so the only documented control is the 'Find and fill with Gemini' toggle. ### How do I turn off Chrome autofill? For regular autofill, open More, then Passwords and autofill, pick a category and turn off 'Save and fill'. For the Gmail feature, go to Settings, Autofill and passwords, Enhanced autofill, and turn off 'Find and fill with Gemini'. ### Why is Chrome autofill not working? Google's help page says to check that 'Save and fill' is on for that info, confirm your Google Account name and email, re-enter your credentials if a passkey or PIN check fails, and check that 'Use passes across Google' is on for Wallet info. ### Can I edit info Chrome pulled from Gmail? No. Google says info pulled from Gmail can't be edited in Chrome. You can remove a suggestion with 'Remove from Chrome', which does not delete the email. ## Sources - [Chrome's enhanced autofill now suggests Gmail information on forms](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/chrome/enhanced-autofill-gmail/), Google - [Fill out forms automatically in Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893), Google Chrome Help - [Chrome's AI-powered autofill can now dig through your Gmail to fill out forms](https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/28/chromes-ai-powered-autofill-can-now-dig-through-your-gmail-to-fill-out-forms/), TechCrunch
