Pocket-lint(Pocket-lint) - There are some great features on iPhone and Mac devices, one of which is Autofill - the ability to save contact and credit card information on Safari so you don't have to re-enter the long card number and expiry date every time you buy something on a website.
Old cards remain saved on Autofill, even when they have expired, which can lead to an unnecessarily large list of cards to select from. Don't worry though, here's how to find your saved cards on iPhone and Mac and how to delete them and clear Autofill.

How to add a credit card to Autofill on iPhone
To add a credit card to the Autofill feature on iPhone so it will appear in the suggested list of cards when you check out on a website, follow the steps below:
If you have credit cards saved into Apple Wallet on the iPhone for ease of use and Apple Pay, like the Apple Card, then you may occasionally run into a situation where you need the CVV code number, or security code number, that is associated with that credit card.
By now you’ve probably tapped around on the Wallet to no avail, tapping on a card doesn’t show you what you’re looking for, so what next? It turns out the security code is tucked a little layer deeper in the Wallet app.
How to Find Credit Card Security Code in Apple Wallet
Making a purchase and need the CVV security code of your Apple credit card? Here’s how you can find that in the Wallet app:
- Open the Apple Wallet app on iPhone
- Tap on “Apple Card”
- Tap the three dots button in the upper right corner, it looks like (…)
- Tap on “Card Information” and look for “See Security Code”
And there you go, you can find the three digit CVV security code, which you sometimes need for verification when making purchases.
Curiously, there does not seem to be a way to get this information from some other credit cards added into Apple Wallet, and there also does not appear to be a way to get much of this information from the Apple Pay section of System Preferences on a Mac. These seem to be critical features that are missing from the Wallet app, so perhaps they’ll be added down the road.
Do you know of another way to get the security code CVV number from Apple Wallet or from credit cards added to your iPhone? Let us know in the comments!
