Username data field
While this is a Privacy and Security setting issue - at least tangentially - my question isn't about security so much as how this data is being stored/retrieved.
I navigated to an entirely new site the other day and it requested a username and password. When the cursor was in the Username field, a set of proposed entries showed up. These were all (recognizable) first names - not emails. When I checked the Privacy and Security settings, I couldn't find any of the names in stored data. While this may be just cached entries for similar fields ("username" or "name" etc...), the list I saw was heavily curated. One of the names I don't ever recall even entering in any name field (and wouldn't have been used for any login) - but even if I had, the list that I saw was far from exhaustive and would only have been a very specific subset of any data I would have entered into any "name" or "username" field.
Is there somewhere I can find how that list was generated?
Thank you,

Found the list using SQL Browser and looking at formhistory.sqlite data.
Yes! Form history saves data in a variety of fields, including user name fields, but not password fields. If you want to turn off form history, or clear individual items, you should find the steps in the following article:
