well, at least it requires explicit user action.
If I enter my real name somewhere, I'm probably fine with providing my phone and post address, too. When in doubt I use a fake identity.
what about chrome's credit card autofill?
- Lewton 15y ago>If I enter my real name somewhere, I'm probably fine with providing my phone and post address, too. Aye. But when I enter my email adress somewhere, I don't necessarily feel comfortable giving them my real name + phone number
- Jgrubb 15y agoI always wondered about this. Also, wouldn't it be really easy to have a form pull autofilled CC info via ajax without even needing the user to hit submit?
- alanbyrne 15y agoI was just wondering the same thing, using the onchange action.
- ceejayoz 15y agoIf I'm remembering correctly, Chrome's autofill doesn't fire change events for the fields. Has annoyed me from a developer standpoint at times, but the reason behind it is valid.
- mattstreet 15y agoThough to grab this info with ajax it doesn't have to fire off an event when the auto-complete changes it. It could just check every second itself if the form changed and if so send off the info.
- eli 15y agoIf all web developers set autocomplete="off" on their CC forms this wouldn't be an issue. But if it were up to me, browsers would refuse to remember numbers that "look like" credit cards and match the checksum. Does autocomplete even trigger on HTTPS forms? Maybe this isn't even that big an issue in the wild.
