Windows 10: Autofill

I was filling out the address to make a purchase on a website. The first time I did this 2 days ago to get the price, nothing weird happened. When I did it again today the autofill gave the option of my name and address as well as my old boss and our work number from 5 years ago. I have never physically typed his name or that phone number into this computer. This is the first time I have ever shopped at this online store. I have only had this computer for 3 months. How did his name get into my autofill suddenly today? Has my computer been hacked? What is happening?

I have done that to the "edge" browsers. But I still do not get the 'autofill'. Any other suggestions?

 

Autofill becoming permanent

I can see the correct autofill sentence enders on my screen appear while typing, but I can't get it to stay so I don't have to retype each word. When I press enter the autofill disappears. What do I need to do to be able to keep the autofill suggestions?
