This is a new computer and my first experience with Monterey. When I get to a form asking for my name and other information, why does my wife's information always show up as the suggested text? She's not even a user on the computer. I don't use the Apple Keychain to save anything and I never store any passwords on the computer when prompted to. Why is she given this priority?
Mac mini 2018 or later
I discovered I didn't have my own contact information as My Card, so I followed the directions from the user guide to create My Card. That will probably take care of the problem I was having. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction.
Where should I save my contacts, in the iCloud section or in the On My Mac section? My wife and I share the same list of contacts with Family sharing, both on our one shared computer and on our individual iPhones. I'm guessing that the contacts saved On My Mac are not accessible on our phones remotely, correct?

In Safari >> Preferences >> AutoFill.
Who's information ( yours or Wife's ) is set in " Using information from My Contacts " set to ( yours or Wife's ) ?
Same goes for " Users Name and passwords "
In the Contacts Application and Choose Your Name as it appears and associated with this computer
refer to below with all the Redactions of personal info.
How can you tell which information is "set"? It wasn't clear how to choose a name from my contact list to use. When I click on Edit, it just opens my Contacts. It wasn't clear how to choose a name from my contact list to use.
When I click on Edit for User names and passwords, the Autofill Passwords tab opens and I don't have any passwords saved. I don't see anything about user names.
Correct, if Locally as in On My Mac location it is not on iCloud and therefore not available to sync with any Device be it your or wife's
You are welcome and thank you too.
Glad to be of assistance
Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC ) in the future, if / or when additional question may arise
autofill uses wrong name
