Custom fields allow you to store additional, well structured data fields within your vault entries. These fields could be security questions, PINs, or anything else. Custom fields have a name, a value, and a type (text, hidden, and boolean).

## Using Custom Fields to Auto-fill
Custom field names are an important identifier. Depending on the name you give your custom field, Bitwarden will attempt to auto-fill the custom field's value for you. If you intend to auto-fill custom fields you should name your field based on an identifier from the webpage form. These names are searched for using the following criteria:

If one of these matches is found, Bitwarden will auto-fill the custom field's value for you.
### Here is an example of how to configure a Custom Field using the id attribute:

5. In the "Name" field paste the element ID.
6. In the "Value" field enter your info you want auto-filled.
7. Save the entry.
## Special name prefixes for auto-filling
When Bitwarden searches a webpage's form elements to match with your custom field's name, an exact, case-insensitive comparison is done. For example, if your custom field has the name "PIN", the following form element's values (from the id, name, label, etc) will match for auto-filling: "pin", "PIN", and "Pin". However, values such as "pin2" or "mypin" will not match.
