What this rule checks
Ensure the autocomplete attribute is correct and suitable for the form field.
Why it matters
WCAG 1.3.5 asks fields that collect personal details to identify their purpose, which helps people with memory or motor impairments fill them in.
How to fix it
- Use a standard autocomplete token such as email, name, tel or postal-code.
How to check the fix
- Re-scan the affected pages.
How FixReports finds it
Our scan runs the axe-core rule autocomplete-valid in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.
An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
