# Disable Auto-Completion For A Form Input
|
|
|
|
The browser wants to be helpful by making informed suggestions about what
|
|
should be auto-filled into form inputs.
|
|
|
|
We may not want this behavior. It could be a source of data entry mistakes, an
|
|
annoyance, or just not something we want our users to experience.
|
|
|
|
We can turn this off at an individual field level with the `autocomplete`
|
|
attribute:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" autocomplete="off">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: It is `off` and not something like `false`.
