UI Patterns
WCAG 1.3.5
Input Purpose / Autocomplete
Inputs collecting personal data (name, email, address, credit card) must have autocomplete attributes. Helps autofill and assistive tech identify fields: autocomplete='email', 'given-name', etc.
In plain terms
Tag common fields — name, email, address — so browsers can autofill them. Faster for everyone, and vital for people who find typing hard.
Why this matters
Autocomplete attributes let browsers and assistive tech fill in personal details — a big help for people with motor or cognitive disabilities, and a convenience for everyone.
How to detect
Quick check
Check inputs collecting personal data (name, email, address, payment) for correct autocomplete values such as autocomplete='email'. Test that the browser offers to autofill them.
