<p>Hi there.</p>
<p>I made an account on Common App today and my computer's autofill put my mother's maiden name as my "former last name".</p>
<p>Will this matter? Since it's only the account info? Is it okay as long as I don't put this mistake on my "Applicant" section of my Common App?</p>
<p>That is fine, account information is not seen by your schools, however, the Common App will typically populate certain fields based on your account info. As long as you remember to change it on the Application and Supplements, you are fine.</p>
<p>It’s best to contact support to clean this up. Just click help from within your account.</p>
<p>DD had the same thing happen. Contacted support, it was fixed in minutes.</p>
