The Address Selector stores users' personal and business addresses securely on their computer. To add an address, a user completes a dialog box with business or personal address information that is stored according to a display name or nickname. Shoppers at merchant Web sites that support the Microsoft Wallet can select addresses from the Address Selector by their display name, without having to fill out a series of merchant HTML forms. Address information is stored securely on the client computer and only released to the merchant if the user clicks OK in an Address Security dialog box.
The ten addresses most recently selected by the user are displayed in a drop-down list in the Address Manager. Users can access the remainder of their addresses by clicking the All addresses button, which generates a dialog box that lists all other addresses in the Wallet storage.
The Address Selector is fully integrated with the Windows Address Book (WAB), if the WAB is on the user's computer. Clicking the Address Book button of the Address Selector allows users to select from addresses in their Windows Address Book and add them to the Address Selector.
