Deactivate Hide My Email in autofill

I just had the same issue and contacted customer service we eventually figured it out after 30 minutes. Open settings then go to Safari then go to auto fill then turn the toggle switch on for use my info. Then you will now have the option to auto fill your email again or hide my email voilà!

I found a very annoying way that seems to have fixed it because this was driving me mad. I couldn’t get the “hide my email” to go away, but I was also having my work email show up on the left instead of my gmail which is the one I almost always use. I went into my contact and rearranged (deleted and readded) my emails so that my gmail would be first and my work email would come second. That’s made my gmail show up on the left hand side next to the hide my email. I hope this works for you!

This suggestion is the only one that has worked. Simply go into your contacts and add your email address to your contacts. That will reset the hide my email.

I didn’t even realize that my email wasn’t in my contacts anymore? That must be part of this stupid “hide my email”. Apparently Apple, just removes your personal information (your email). Add your email address to your (personal contact).

That should resolve the problem.

Don't know if this works for you, but what did the trick for me was resetting the "my card" in contacts:

Set up your My Card in Contacts on Mac - Apple Support

Really annoying but at last it works again like I grew used to over the years.

I also deleted my own card(s) again in the Contacts application of my Mac. Now, it's working again. This time, I also recreated them through Systems Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Contacts Card: Open

Hey chrisfromlenox,

Just to the right of Hide My Email is the icon of a Key. Clicking on it should bring up your saved login credentials, if you already have some setup for that website.

Hello gem322.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see that you need help deactivating your Hide My Email address. We will be glad to assist.

Please see the steps below:

"You can create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings . Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email, then do any of the following:

• Deactivate a Hide My Email address: Tap an address (below Create New Address), then tap Deactivate Email Address. After you deactivate the address, it no longer forwards emails to you."

Cheers.

I’m having the same issue, except I’m actually getting ZERO suggestions and ONLY the “Hide my email” option. I don’t want to commit to NEVER using it, but I want the auto fill options that I’ve grown accustomed to for the last few years to remain. Can y’all please fix this? It’s super annoying. You had a problem solved, and then unsolved it.

I abhor the Hide My Email feature. It is preventing me from logging into job search websites like Indeed and Glassdoor. I have to manually type in my email and password every time! So frustrating!! This is why I NEVER upgrade to the latest iOS to avoid being used as a test subject for new implementations that users hate.

When I upgraded to Monterey, my own contact got deleted (In "Contacts" app -> "On My Mac" -> "All on My Mac"). After setting it up / creating it again, the AutoFill feature started working again. Pretty easy fix. See if this is working for you too.

I just got off the phone with Apple. We used 4 websites as examples as I shared my screen to explain the issue. 2 out of 4 websites did not populate my email, instead they populated Hide My Email Option. Apple was unable to fix my issue, and we thought maybe Hide My Email is pulling from the form field in the way the developer tagged it. BUT, even so, if Apple is smart enough to know to show Hide My Email, it now's the form field is an email type, so should show the email address of my choosing. LASTLY, I'm going to try creating and then disabling an actual Hide My Email account to see if that works, but definitely not the best solution. I don't think they tested this feature enough.

did on the macbook, just tried on iphone. first try didnt work, had to open contacts app first and it reset my contact as "my card" before my eyes without me doing anything.

then it did work again in the same trial form.

Hi gem322.

Thanks for following up. Next, we would suggest reaching out to Apple Support. Here's how: Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m trying to turn it off as well
