Google has expanded what Chrome can do: the browser can now automatically fill not only addresses and passwords, but also passport details, driver’s license information, vehicle registration data, and a car’s VIN. The new autofill capability is built to speed up online applications and forms by pulling from saved information, sparing users from retyping the same details again and again.
The update also improves recognition of non-standard forms, which boosts input accuracy. All data is stored encrypted and used only with the user’s permission—before any entry is inserted, Chrome asks for confirmation. That extra step makes the convenience easier to trust without slowing things down.
The feature became available on November 4 across all desktop versions of the browser worldwide. In the coming months, Google plans to add support for new data types. In addition, Chrome has gained integration with Gemini for users in the United States and is preparing AI-based features: smarter search in the address bar, protection against fraudulent AI sites, and automatic password changes. The direction is clear: more automation to reduce friction, paired with guardrails where they matter.
