## Key points

- Safari Autofill may move credit card expiry dates back a month.
- Users have reported the intermittent issue for years.
- The cause remains unconfirmed, and Apple had not commented.

## Summary

Safari Autofill has been reported to shift saved credit card expiry dates back by one month when filling in online forms. The intermittent problem matters because it can cause payment details to be entered incorrectly, though the article says the reports do not establish how widespread it is.

Users have described the issue in Apple Community posts since at least 2017, with similar complaints in 2021 and 2024, as well as in Reddit discussions. The Register could not reproduce it, and one reader said the card details remain correct in Settings; a possible explanation involves how Safari handles dates across time zones. Apple had not responded to a request for comment, and support reportedly suggested clearing the browser cache and re-entering the card details.
