## Browser autofill is useful. Skip Retyping covers the forms around it.

You should keep using browser autofill and your password manager for what they do best. Skip Retyping is for the repeated profile-style fields that sit between saved addresses, sign-ins, text snippets, and scripted macros.

## Works best for

- Browser autofill for saved addresses
- Password managers for sign-ins
- Skip Retyping for repeated profile data
- Smart rules and uploads for long forms

## Browser autofill

Best for saved names, addresses, phone numbers, and payment-wallet flows the browser already understands.

## Skip Retyping

Best for repeated profiles, job applications, intake forms, vendor forms, demo requests, upload matching, custom fields, and review-before-submit filling.

## Use both

Skip Retyping does not replace the browser. It fills the long-form gaps while sign-ins and payments stay with tools users already trust.
