Title

Autofill for addresses must be disabled. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Enables the AutoFill feature and allows users to auto-complete address information in web forms using previously stored information. If this policy is disabled, AutoFill never suggests or fills credit card information, nor will it save additional credit card information that users might submit while browsing the web. If this policy is enabled or not configured, users can control AutoFill for addresses in the user interface.

Check Content

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Enable AutoFill for addresses" must be set to "disabled". Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the value for "AutofillAddressEnabled" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Set the policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Enable AutoFill for addresses" to "disabled".
