WCAG 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose · Level AA

A form field uses an autocomplete value browsers don't recognise.

## 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
### On any website
1. Use a standard autocomplete token such as email, name, tel or postal-code.

### On Shopify
1. Use a standard autocomplete token such as email, name, tel or postal-code.

### On WooCommerce and WordPress
1. Use a standard autocomplete token such as email, name, tel or postal-code.

## How to check the fix
- Re-scan the affected pages.
