Personal data fields with no autocomplete

WCAG 1.3.5 (AA) · EN 301 549 9.1.3.5

Some fields asking for common personal data (email, phone, address) have no autocomplete attribute.

Why it matters

Autocomplete lets the browser fill the field in. For someone with a tremor, with limited mobility, or navigating with a switch, typing a full address is real effort that disappears entirely.

A checkout that autofills completes faster for everyone. It is one of the few fixes here that measurably lifts conversion.

How to fix it

Add the matching standard token: autocomplete="{token}" in this case.

As it is

<input type="email" name="mail">

As it should be

<input type="email" name="mail" autocomplete="email">
