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:

<input type="email" id="email" name="email" autocomplete="off">

Note: It is off and not something like false.
