Invalid autocomplete values

Message shown by axe and Lighthouse: autocomplete attribute must be used correctly · autocomplete-valid · WCAG 1.3.5

What it means and why it matters

Correct autocomplete lets browsers fill in name, address and email — essential for people with cognitive or motor impairments (WCAG 1.3.5).

How to fix it

Use valid tokens such as name, email, street-address, postal-code.

Code example

Before

<input type="text" name="zip" autocomplete="zip">

After

<input type="text" name="zip" autocomplete="postal-code">
