Firefox used to ignore autocomplete="off" until relatively recently. I'm sick of sites thinking they know better than me -- like those who don't let me paste in the password field. While I understand the good use cases for this attribute, given the binary choice I would rather have it ignored.
- elcritch 7y agoIn best cases there’d be an option to honor the attribute or not.
- mcv 7y agoThat is absolutely stuff that the user needs to be able to override. In fact, anything related to cutting and pasting is not something I think the browser should mess with. Also: websites that generate a custom login name or password for me so I won't remember it, and then refuse to allow autofill or pasting. Fortunately dev tools are standard on the desktop these days. (I would really, really like access to dev tools on mobile, though. It's simply necessary to get around some broken websites.)
