Seems to make perfectly fine sense to me.
- nomel 5y agoThe problem is not in the autofill, it's storing the information in the first place!
- true_religion 5y agoWill it store things that were placed into a field with auto fill off?
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoAFAIK yes, caching can do so. Even if it doesn't, autofill=off doesn't require it to not store the data, just to not fill it in. Things like session resumption can still store and refill it.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoThe web app has no control over what information the browser is and isn't saving. Autofill can and should be disabled in the browser in that case.
