An example method includes receiving, by a user device, authorization to engage in autofill for an application displayed on the user interface (UI) of the user device. The method further includes detecting an autofill trigger event and determining a subset of content excluding user-specific information. The method also includes transmitting a request containing the subset to a remote provider for candidate data for use in autofill. The method further includes receiving a response from the remote provider containing one or more candidate values for use in autofill. The method additionally includes filling the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI with the corresponding one or more candidate values.
