# Automatic Form Filler

1Password Identities make it much easier to register new accounts or make a purchase online, and you can create multiple Identities for any purpose. Identities can store personal details like your home or work address, typical security question answers, or even your favorite forum username and signature, then automatically fill all that information into registration forms. You can even use 1Password to securely store and fill your credit card information.

## Automatically Fill Personal Details

To enable 1Password to fill your personal information into forms, you must first add this information to one or more 1Password “Identities.” You can create an Identity from the main 1Password application either by clicking File > New Identity… or by clicking Identities in the left sidebar, then the plus sign at the bottom of the column browser. In the Identity Details editing area that appears, enter as much or as little information as you want.

You can add as many Identities as you want. To save an Identity, give it a name or a theme, such as “Work” or “Parent’s house.” Perhaps you can even create an “Alias Identity” with fake information that 1Password can enter on sites you do not trust.

Once your Identities are created, 1Password can use them in your web browser to fill registration forms, shipping address forms, and even weblog comment fields. Select Identities from the 1Password toolbar icon menu and select the Identity you want to use.

## Automatically Enter Credit Card Details

You can automatically fill credit card information in much the same way as Identities are used to fill personal information. For credit cards, add a new Wallet item by clicking the Add Wallet Item toolbar button in the main 1Password application. While there are many Wallet item types in 1Password, select the Credit Card type for this case:

The Wallet Details window will appear, in which you can enter all your information for this new credit card. Just like Identities, you can add as many credit cards as you want.

Once your credit cards are added, you can easily fill online payment forms and other forms requiring credit card information by selecting Credit Cards from the 1Password menu in your web browser.
