The browser you work in can save or remember the credit card number when you are typing it. This is, however, not recommended if you are working on a shared or a public computer. If you know that you are working on your personal computer and this will remain your property, then you may ask your browser to save or remember the credit card number. For example, you can search Chrome for payment methods to enter your credit card number so it can be remembered for later use. When you want to use it, you must click on the credit card field, then the information will be filled in. Some browsers, such as Chrome, will require you to add the information or the security code at the back of the card. Usually, these are the unique three digits written on the back of your card as a bar code.
Save credit cards using a password manager.
A password manager is a unique and exciting website through which you can download an application and feed all the passwords in it so you do not have to type it repeatedly. It can remember passwords and give you a passcode. The passwords are also concealed, so it is a highly secure application. You can subsequently feed your credit card number in the password manager and save it for later use. In this way, you will not have to write it repeatedly.
Save credit cards on websites.
Only use those websites that have your number saved: The last method is to order from those websites that have the number saved. For example, if you are a frequent user of Amazon, your credit card number will likely be saved already, and when you type out the first digit, it will give you the option of the total number already. In this way, you must click on the number, and the field will auto-fill as usual.
