Hello there! 

After the recent update to edge this thing has been popping up on every text box in any website i visit. Because of this annoying thing sometimes i can't even see the text on top because it doesn't go away no matter what i do. Is there a way to diable this dumb feature popup?

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

    I'm having the same issue, but it's ANY text box that submits data. I've followed the steps in your reply and it DOES clear them, and I can set it to clear them every time I close the browser, but I would like it to never record them and offer them as suggestions, ever; because as soon as I go back to the page and answer a few questions, it just stacks up with this really annoying popup that I can't seem to get to go away.

    I even went to edge://flags/ and disabled "Show Autofill predictions" and it did not fix the problem after restarting edge.

    Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1165)

    Edge Version 92.0.902.84 (Official build) (64-bit)

    I've been looking for a solution for about 45 minutes and I'm starting to think that it's to just go back to Chrome.

    There's a clue in the pop-up, and even a link there to this settings page: edge://settings/personalinfo.

    On that page, turn Save and fill personal info Off.

    I have an up-to-date (as of a few days ago) version of Edge running on Windows 10 Pro.

    I've been using Edge for about six months, when I purchased my Lenovo ThinkStation,

    not some no-brand cheap computer.

    I started to do a crossword puzzle just now and that annoying box popped up

    every time I tried to enter an answer. I've done hundreds of crossword puzzles

    in the past six months and have never had this problem.

    Worse yet, several attempts to locate this setting using the search box in Edge

    elicited the infamous "No Results Found" response, thus my trip to this page.

    I have not made **** any changes to the settings, so this must be some kind of bug,

    which I hope doesn't recur because I've been happy with Edge so far and have

    no desire to go back to Chrome or Firefox.

    I have the same problem, but I'm using Windows 11. I have turned autofill off in Edge (ver 96.0.1054.34), but has not helped. I can't figure out of it's just an EDGE problem, or Office 365 as Outlook does the same thing. I can't find where it would be saving some of the info I enter, such as a username.

    Thanks for any insight you can provide.
