Disable HTML form input autocomplete and autofill

Disable HTML Form Input Autocomplete and Autofill

  1. Add autocomplete="off" onto <form> element;
  2. Add hidden <input> with autocomplete="false" as a first children element of the form.
<form autocomplete="off" method="post" action="">
    <input autocomplete="false" name="hidden" type="text" style="display:none;">
    ...

This formation is going to prevent Chrome and Firefox to offer autofill and autocomplete for all input fields inside the form.

This works for me on fresh Chrome v. 122.0 (more info here)

<input autocomplete="nope" ... />

(I test it in my angular dropdown component - works also without <form> wrapper)

This still working fine for me

<form autocomplete="off">
  <input type="text" name="username" autocomplete="off" />
  <!--OR-->
  <input type="text" name="email" autocomplete="off" />
  
  <input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="new-password" />
</form>

<input autocomplete="new-password" />

This is the way. Here is why.

Atrocious.

You can try this...

<form action="" autocomplete="off">

<input type="text" required autofocus aria-autocomplete="none">

<input type="text" required aria-autocomplete="none">

</form>
