In this article, we will answer the frequently asked question, why do some fields try to auto-populate in Guardtek? Also, the related and frequently asked follow-up question, how can I prevent this?
Auto-populating fields is not a function that you can control in Guardtek, but rather it is a browser feature that stores your information in a cache and auto-fills forms and fields such as those that ask for shipping, billing, user names, and password information.
This becomes an issue typically when setting up new users or managing a user profile.
Depending on your browser, you can turn this feature on or off. This is also commonly referred to as clearing the cache.
