Hide My Email address still appearing in autofill despite deletion.

Hey Dallen,

It sounds like your Mac might still be caching that old Hide My Email address in Safari’s autofill settings, even though it’s been deleted from iCloud. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Clear Safari Autofill Data

Go to Safari > Settings > Autofill and check under the “Other Forms” or “Emails” section. Also, in Safari > Settings > Privacy, try clicking Manage Website Data, search for Instagram, and remove any saved data for it.

2. Check Contacts

Open the Contacts app and search for the old Hide My Email address. Sometimes it can be stored in your personal contact card or elsewhere.

3. Remove from Keychain (if present)

Open Keychain Access and search for the Instagram site or the email address. If you see anything related, try removing it from there.

4. Restart your Mac

Sometimes changes to iCloud data like Hide My Email take a restart to fully clear from system memory and caches.

Let me know if any of that works!

Hello,

Hide My Email addresses go into a deactivated section before they get fully deleted. Have you removed the address from the deactivated section as well?
