Turn Off Autocomplete
Use the autocomplete attribute to turn off autocomplete for input fields:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Autocomplete on/off</h2>
<form action=”/action_page.php”>
First name: <input type=”text” name=”fname” autocomplete=”off”><br>
Last name: <input type=”text” name=”lname” autocomplete=”on”><br>
<input type=”submit”>
</form>
<p>Fill in and submit the form, then reload the page to see how autocomplete works.</p>
<p>Notice that autocomplete is “on” for the last name field, but “off” for the first name field.</p>
</body>
</html>
You can also turn off autocomplete for the whole form:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Autocomplete on/off</h2>
<p>In this example, we turn off autocomplete for the whole form.</p>
<form action=”/action_page.php” autocomplete=”off”>
First name: <input type=”text” name=”fname”><br>
Last name: <input type=”text” name=”lname”><br>
<input type=”submit”>
</form>
</body>
</html>
