Microsoft Edge
Block AutoFill data types for specific sites
Supported on Microsoft Edge version 154, Windows 7 or later
What it does
Setting this policy allows you to specify which AutoFill data types are blocked on specific URL patterns. The policy is structured as a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary must contain: * "url_pattern": A content setting URL pattern for the main frame (for example, "https://[*.]example.com"). * "blocked_types": A list of strings representing the categories of AutoFill data to block. The supported values for "blocked_types" are: * "contact_info": Blocks filling and saving of contact information. * "payments": Blocks filling and saving of credit cards and payment methods. * "identity_docs": Blocks filling and saving of identity documents (for example, passports, driver's licenses, and national IDs). * "travel": Blocks filling and saving of travel information (for example, flight reservations and vehicle registrations). * "shopping": Blocks filling and saving of shopping information (for example, online orders and shipments). * "all": Blocks filling and saving of all AutoFill data types. If a data type is blocked for a site, both the generation of suggestions and the prompt to save or import new data of that type are disabled on that site. If a URL matches multiple pattern entries in the list, the blocked types from all matching entries are combined. Invalid URL patterns in the list are ignored. If you don't configure this policy, no AutoFill data types are blocked by domain. For detailed information on valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. The wildcard * is supported and matches any URL with any scheme, port, and path. Example value: [ { "url_pattern": "https://[*.]example.com", "blocked_types": [ "contact_info", "payments" ] }, { "url_pattern": "https://another-example.com", "blocked_types": [ "payments" ] }, { "url_pattern": "*", "blocked_types": [ "identity_docs" ] } ]

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
