How do i change auto fill of personal info

Using ver 10.11.6 OSX

I am using the function that allows me to use autofill for my personal information. When ever I being typing my personal info(name, address, zip, etc.) it automatically completes. I need to make a change, but unfortunately due to old age, I cannot remember how to get to that location.

Greetings hthompson1,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you want to change the AutoFill details in Safari. I would recommend you read this article, it explains how you can do that.

Change AutoFill settings

Choose Safari > Preferences, then click AutoFill.

To turn AutoFill off or on, select the information you want to include in AutoFill, deselect the rest.

To change or delete AutoFill information, click Edit next to the information you want to change or delete.

Important: Safari autofills your information for anyone who uses your Mac with your user login. It also autofills your information for anyone who uses your other devices, if those devices and your Mac have iCloud Keychain set up.

Safari for Mac: Use AutoFill for credit cards, contacts, and passwords in Safari

Take care.

Thank you for the quick response. I am familiar with the change location you describe. I don't think that changes the info in the autofill I am looking for. Is there autofill for the MacBook itself? I think it is autofilling in other programs besides Safari. The information in the autofill in Safari is not the exact same as I see in some of the locations being autofilled.
