“I use mine for my email address. I have the keyword as “myemail” and it will auto fill with my email,” one user replied while another said they just use “@@” for the same thing.
Another commented: “This is brilliant. But also, I order something different every time haha so this probably won’t work for me lol.”
“I’m currently job hunting and use mine to quickly apply for jobs. @email, @number, @website, @linkedin to fill in all the usual fields that aren’t captured by Safari auto fill,” a third said.
