Autofill stopped working

Browser Support Desktop Support

I have to fill in fields repetitively for my work. The autofill is especially useful and time saving. About 1-2 weeks ago, possibly after an update or a clearing of my cache, all of my autofills stopped working. Also, it’s not saving any new data I enter.

This has happened for all of my text fields.

I went to the Settings > Autofill and passwords, but I am not referring to addresses addresses and passwords. There’s no “more” under addresses as suggested when I search for how to fix this.
I need to autofill about 100-200 fields that I have to manually enter text into daily.

I would love for my autofills to come back, or at least start saving again so I can use them moving forward.
