This article describes how to turn off the Cerby autofill in specific fields when using the Cerby browser extension.

The Cerby browser extension enables you to autofill your login credentials on the login pages of your accounts. When encountering input fields on these pages, the extension displays the Cerby () icon within each field. Clicking the input field displays the Cerby inline menu with your stored credentials for autofill, as shown in Figure 1.

Additionally, by turning off and on the feature per input field, you can help us correctly identify the input fields of your accounts when the user interface changes or the login flow is different than expected.
