Disable the AutoFill Feature

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The AutoFill feature suggests possible matches when users are filling in forms. To disable the AutoFill feature, set AutoFillEnabled to false in the Chromium policy file.

Rationale

It is possible with the AutoFill feature that it will cache sensitive data and store it in the user's profile, where it might not be protected as rigorously as required by organizational policy.
