Description

Form Vault gives you the ability to save form templates and recover lost form data from any webpage. You can also fill out timesheets, job applications, and other forms that you fill out often with just the click of a button! If you’ve ever had a oh $#@*& moment and lost everything you typed into an online form, then this extension is just for you. If not, use this extension to avoid this! Current features: * The ‘Undo’ button will restore autosaved form data for a particular site. Every change to a webpage form is stored locally on your chrome browser and can be restored through this function. * The ‘Save Template’ button will create a template of current site’s form data. As long as the user has ‘sync’ enabled on their chrome browser, this data will persist offline and across different devices. Note that this button will overwrite previously saved templates. * The ‘Restore Template’ button will retrieve the template saved to the site’s domain and fill the template data into the appropriate fields on the form. * The ‘Edit Templates’ button will open a new webpage with a table displaying all the user’s currently saved templates. Users can edit and delete templates from this page. * The ‘Clear History’ button will clear all history - templates and auto-saved data. This data cannot be recovered. * Works for all text elements, select drop-downs, radio buttons, and checkboxes. -------------------------------------------------------------- Notice: This extension won't save any personal data. All data is either stored locally on your computer, or synced with your gmail account. This extension will also not save or recover any fields with the name 'Password' or anything similar.

Sorry, but this does not work. Why doesn't Google vet and take some of these useless chrome extensions out of the chrome web store? I have yet to find anything nearly as good as lazarus form recovery for chrome. Why can't someone create a reliable form recovery ext.? I am deleting this as we speak.

DO NOT USE WITH VIVALDI BROWSER. Fastest delete of an extension I've ever done. I am about to cry... I downloaded this extension right before submitting a really long application because the first time I filled it out my computer had an issue and I lost all my data. Most reviews seemed fine so I trusted it. As soon as I hit save my browser crashed, again, deleting all the data I had filled out. Clicking any part of this extension will cause your browser to crash. I have Vivaldi browser, maybe that is the problem and this works well on other browsers. Or maybe this is an evil troll and every reviewer is in on it. One thing is for sure, I will fill out this form for a third time (3+ hours of writing), with tears rolling down my face, and if something happens again, this will be the start of a new villain arc. DO NOT download this app if you need it right away, download to test on something that is okay to lose.

This extension seems cool, but I had a major issue with it once. When I clicked the "Edit Templates" button my whole browser crashed, CLEARING my forms. The extension literally did the opposite of what it intends to do.

It doesn't recall/fill in the form ‘template’ it supposedly saves. I';ve lost really important information for a submission! I'm glad I read some reviews on this, as I took the precaution of copying the text to Trello. This extension is utter rubbish now, it doesn't perform or do anything! Does it even save information, as it certainly doesn't recall anything!

It literally saves data for a form on a specific URL and it has templates but you can't load a different template on another form? It's useless. What is the point?

The below review is no longer relevant. The extension no longer auto-saves forms. Very disappointed. --------------------- It's the first form recovery extension I've found that actually works since the venerable Lazarus died. I'm so happy :sob: Finally I can stop being paranoid about typing into web forms again! As other reviews have said, a bit more customizability would be great, but a good start!

In terms of operation - this is so close to what I wanted. Basically I wanted to be able to fill out a form and click a button to save the details. Then next time I'm on that page, click another button to restore those details. It works - but overwrites the saved details per host name - not per page! So close...

You need to allow us to change the name of the page templates we save. Then there is value.

I thought "autosave" meant it would save without me doing anything. I thought your reply on 23rd April that "The extension actually does save things automatically to your browser" meant that it actually would save things automatically! Even so, I looked for a way to activate or to start/stop, and found none. unless it's Save Template. What on earth is Save Template? I don't want to save a template, I want to save and recover anything I typed into a field that got lost when the browser or computer crashed. So I assumed Save Template was for data I may want to input repeatedly, such as name and address. A long post on a forum was completely lost. I didn't worry, I knew that I had Form Vault and that Form Vault had autosave. More fool me. Nothing is saved. If the previous reviewer and I are missing something obvious, then maybe that tells you instructions are needed? I too miss Lazarus.

SPOILER ALERT

Effective if you remember to use it, but doesn't save anything automatically. I miss Lazarus.
