Form Fill

Datacards

A datacard refers to saved information (such as your name and address) that you can use to automatically fill out forms on a website. Information for a datacard may or may not be password-protected.

Use this tab to enter your personal information (such as your name, address, and e-mail) for use in web forms. Depending on how you set your Datacard options, Netscape Browser can automatically update this information based on information that you enter in forms, and it can also use this information to automatically fill in forms for you.

For more details, refer to Saving and Auto-Filling Form Information.

A passcard is a combination of a user name and password that you use to log on to a website.

Use this tab to set password options and to manage passwords that Netscape Browser has previously saved. For more details on using Passcard Manager, refer to Managing Your Online Passwords

Your master password is the password you use to protect your Datacard and Passcard information.

Use this tab to access your master password. For details on managing your Master Password refer to Saving, Updating, or Resetting a Master Password.

This section lists the sites for which you have indicated you do not want to use datacard information (that is, when prompted by the message bar to use a datacard, you clicked Never for this site). To change this behaviour, select the site from the list and click the Remove button.

Shopping web sites typically request two addresses: one for billing information (that is, the address where the invoice should be mailed), and the shipping address (where the goods being ordered should be mailed). If your billing and shipping addresses are typically the same, fill in the billing address and leave the shipping address blank. Alternatively, you can enter different addresses on each tab.

Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:

• Automatically save Datacard: Netscape automatically saves your form information whenever you fill out a form.
• Display a Prompt to Save: Netscape prompts you before saving your form fill information.
• Do Nothing: Do not do anything when you open the form. If you want to use the datacard, you can instead select it using the datacard toolbar button.

The name of the site where you use the passcard.

The user name that you use to sign on to the site.

The password that you use to sign on for this user name.

Click this button to set your master password for the first time, or update it once you have set it. When you click this button, the Set/Change Master password window displays.

Note: After you create a master password, this button displays instead Change Master Password.

Use this button to reset your master password if you have forgotten it.

Warning: When you use this button, Netscape erases all of passcard and datacard information!

This button opens a window that you can use to specify what Netscape Browser should do with your master password after you have entered it. (This is to protect your data if you leave your computer unattended after having entered your master password.) For example, you can specify that you must enter the master password each time you want to modify your personal data, or, alternatively, you can set a time limit after which Netscape Browser will expire the password before forcing you to re-enter it.
