autocomplete-attribute

Require autocomplete on identity and payment form fields.

Flags identity, address, and payment inputs that lack an autocomplete attribute. The rule protects autofill UX (a power-user expectation) and the WCAG criterion that browsers rely on autocomplete to assist cognitively-impaired users.

Behavior

• Fixable: No.
• Suggestions: Yes — proposes the correct autocomplete value per input.
• Maps to: WCAG 1.3.5 (Identify Input Purpose).

Examples

Bad:

<input type="email" name="email" />

Good:

<input type="email" name="email" autoComplete="email" />
