My Autofill Email Address Is Always the Wrong One

When my Mac offers to autofill my email address in a Web page's text box, it always offers one of my least used, most obscure addresses, not the one I almost always use.


Is there a way to make that autofill offer my main email address instead?


Thanks for any help.

Safari AutoFill takes information from info stored in Contacts app.

Open Contacts app, make a new card with desired email address and then "Make This My Card".

I ended up doing something similar.


I took my main card, with all my info including address, etc., and deleted all the less important email address. Then I typed those into a new card under my name that's meant to hold those less common addresses, but nothing else.


Now my main card, My Card, still has all my info except for those distracting email addresses.


Thanks for the help!
