axe-core rule: autocomplete-valid
Form fields have invalid autocomplete attributes
What it is
An autocomplete attribute uses a value that is not in the HTML specification, so browsers and assistive technology cannot use it to identify the field purpose or autofill it.
Who it blocks
People with motor or cognitive disabilities who rely on browser autofill to complete forms, and password-manager users.
How to fix it
Use valid autocomplete tokens from the HTML spec, such as name, email, street-address, postal-code, cc-number, or tel.
Example fix
<!-- Before -->
<input type="text" autocomplete="zipcode">
