Job Application Autofill Edge extension security report

Job hunting in 2025 still involves the same chore it did a decade ago: pasting the same personal details into every applicant-tracking form you meet. Job Application Autofill turns that slog into a single-click task. Right below the Save button you now see: Name Email Phone Company These aren’t just labels; they are hard-wired into the filler script through regex patterns (/name/i, /mail/i, /phone\|mobile/i, /company\|employer/i). When you store your résumé text, the popup parses it to extract the first line as your full name, the first e-mail address it spots, the first phone number and the most recent employer. Whenever you face a job application form: Make sure the inputs are blank (the script skips fields that already contain text). Click the extension icon, then Fill This Page. A transient content script scans every <input> , <textarea> or select> that is writable. When a label, placeholder, name or id matches one of the regexes, the script writes your stored value, dispatches input and change events, and moves on./ The badge shows:/ ✓ — at least one field was filled./ 0 — nothing matched; you may need a custom label./ ! — you forgot to save a résumé./ Because the script injects on-demand, no JavaScript sits idle on every site you visit, keeping both memory use and permission requests to an absolute minimum./ Adding your own fields If you want to autofill items such as LinkedIn URL, city or portfolio link, right-click the icon and choose Options./ The options page presents a small table:/ Field label / regex Value linkedin https://linkedin.com/in/you/ Privacy, portability and localisation Local-only résumé – Your personal data never touches a server; every field lives in local storage/ The “default-fields” build of Job Application Autofill hits the sweet spot between immediate utility and expandable power. Out-of-the-box it fills the four facts every recruiter wants—name, e-mail, phone, company—in literally one click, while a single-screen options page invites power users to bolt on anything else/</textarea>
