There is a new compliance law that has come out of Europe (GDPR-General Data Protection Regulation) and it has had ramifications here in the U.S. (I’ve gotten dozens of emails alerting me to the impact it will have on this thing and that thing. Today was the last day for voluntary compliance.)
The server says it’s not them causing an issue, WordPress has not admitted to any errors. So, that leaves us with the theory that’s been given to me that your settings have been updated without your knowledge.
Try it and see.
example:
Firefox > Options > Privacy & Security > Autofill need to be checked.
Mine is checked and yet sometimes, like now, my name and email are not there unless I enter them.
It got me, and it will reveal your name !
Check it.
I hate the EU
I guess that means my website is noncompliant! 😉
another law–updated without my knowledge? dam whats a person to do? 🙂 and i had to re-enter my name etc… maybe i’ll just pass on thru without a comment from now on… 🙂
Does that mean we should uncheck the auto-fill?
gonna be a lot of comments by anonymous from now on…
….and I do believe this is a WordPress problem to fix. Auto fill works as needed on other websites….
Yeah, ALL my auto sign-ons are screwed up.
Apple did an update, they wouldn’t let me continue without it.
Everything is screwed up and many sites no longer “remember me”.
And,,, don’t get me started with the captcha sign on with their tiny pictures you have to scrutinize for a road sign.
My comment @ 2:09 was auto-filled. This one was not.
???
No, autofill SHOULD be checked on.
But make sure the autofill doesn’t contain anything you don’t want public.
Test
When I first got Firefox, I checked autofill. I looked at it right now and it is still checked. But part of yesterday and this morning, I had to enter my info several times.
My info is here now (unlike this morning), so if it was updated without my knowledge, then somehow it was re-updated to check autofill. Or it had nothing to do with checking the autofill box and it was WordPress not admitting they goofed.
Some sites lag with FIREFOX. I noticed it last week. I believe Firefox did some updates around that time. I wish other browsers would make it easier to transfer bookmarks. I have at least 900 links.
Just to clarify, I use Firefox on MacBook Pro. No issues with auto-fill.
Ah, MJA, you could be correct. Firefox did an update either yesterday or the day before. I don’t recall when the last time I filled in my info and then noticed that it kept it, but it’s there now, so I’m not going to fret about it!
My info is not there. Had to fill it in.
@MJA Save your bookmarks as a HTML file in my docs, and you can import them into any browser that way. Plus you will always have a back up if you email the HTML file to yourself.
And use this extension…..

Run Mint xfce (latest update) and Chrome. Just cleared Chrome cache and rebooted. No auto-fill, however, I did add my screen name to the auto fill so at least it shows up when right clicking the Name field. If that’s what I have to do to add my useless comments to this site; so be it.
Testing was me… Anniegirl My autofil is checked on.
My Chrome auto-fill is checked.
I still have to enter the first letters to show/select Loco, my email, and the H for https://en.gravatar.com/
My name etc. was gone. Had to fill it in. It was always there before.
Eurofags could screw up a wet dream.
im using opera and the autofill is checked. I’m not getting any joy over this. Will try *spit* chrome

Opera testing: ♫♪ La donna è mobile ♫♪
Autofill is checked and always has been. Stand by…
Update: Fields still blank. Using Opera 53.0, updated just before this test.
Be dam yer tests…There is only on boss….mew….I us Safari cuz I’m Africa Bob an Safari happened in Africa….I know own *WordPress*….suffer birtches!…
It’s defiantly word press that is the problem……
I checked that the autofill is good,but then went to You tube and in the comment section at the top it says….
Commenting Publicly as—-My Real Name.
I have NEVER commented on You tube. I use Duck Duck Go.
I then tried Google, and it showed the same thing. How in the world did it get my real name? and How do I get rid of it?
I have commented at the Front Page Mag bout 3 or 4 times.And IOTW That’s it.

Well, for youtube, if you are logged on in Gmail at the moment, your name will show up same as your email account.
If you use BING, and are logged in to Outlook or Hotmail, same thing happens with BING applications/ products.
If you’re logged into any google stuff, or microsoft, Apple stuff on your phone, You have to physically sign out of them, too.
Apparently, something hinky is going on in the internet right now and no one is saying anything about it.
Thanks MJA.
I’m gonna have to look at it again in the AM.
Appreciate It. Hinkey for sure.
Annie girl.

We are Anonymous.
We do not forgive.
We do not remember.
Expect us.
Calling and paging all Anons united,
Number 9…Number 9…Number 9…
Definitely something hinky going on. Never had this issue before and I NEVER set auto fill on my phone. But I did receive this tweet today from the FBI warning to reset my router.
No thanks, I’ll take my chances w/hackers in the hope they have less nefarious plans for my data. Gee, can you tell I’m soured on the intel community?
I’ll just have to remember to retype my name w/each post, unless I’ve embarrassed myself, then I’ll stick w/anonymous.
