I know this was answered before but whatever I do, Chrome always shows a list of possible values.
For example, for this field:
<input type='text' id="sFechaCarga" name="sFechaCarga" class="font-12 form-control showCalRanges" autocomplete="off" />
Google thinks this field is a credit card field, showing suggestions for credit cards.
While for this other field:
<input type='text' id="sFechaEstado" name="sFechaEstado" class="font-12 form-control showCalRanges" autocomplete="off" />
Google thinks it is an state value, showing suggestions for states.
I tried to use autocomplete="none" or autocomplete="fdsgsgsg" as someone suggests in some SO threads. I have even used autoComplete="off". None works.
Any help, please?

This is not a perfect solution, but it´s working right now. You should add readonly attribute, and then on focus, remove it. Quite simple, not so beauty (if you need it for lot of inputs, you could try adding it by js to minimize code).
<input type='text' id="sFechaCarga" name="sFechaCarga" class="font-12 form-control showCalRanges" readonly="readonly" onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" />

I'm reviewing my code wrote time ago. The input text that I wrote is the following:
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-sm" id="mypid" name="mypid" value="" placeholder="" readonly="readonly" required>
I tested the form and with my surprise I found out that even if I added 'required', I can actually submit even if the field is empty. The field is readonly because my code will autofill that field automatically, I need that the user doesn't write anything by themselves, so I need it to be readonly and required at the same time. But I didn't expect to see that now it's not considered required anymore. What am I doing wrong here? Any suggestion? Thank you very much for your help.

your question has already been answered here. But to explain it to you, you have to replace your readonly by onkeypress="return false;" which gives almost the same result.
How do I prevent a form from suggesting auto-complete values, from previous entries or from saved information in Edge?
In the above image, the email input field is marked as autocomplete="false", but still in the right pane you can see the suggestion is populating.
When I add autocomplete=disabled to one field it seems it work, but when I add the attribute to all the inputs, it again starts displaying suggestions for every field.
What is the solution for this?
Add the aria-autocomplete="list" attribute to the input.
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="attr1" aria-autocomplete="list">
Do not use any other value for the attribute.
According to your description, I reproduced the problem. I think your issue is caused by the "Save and fill personal info" setting being enabled in Edge.
If you navigate to edge://settings/personalinfo and disable this feature, you can see this behavior no longer exists.
Or you can also click the "Manage personal info" option in the picture you provided, and then disable it.
I did some simple tests and found that if you need to solve the problem from the code, you need to modify the name attribute of the form's related field.
Like this（do not use attribute values like name or email... and maybe there are others I am not aware of):
<label for="attr1">attr1:</label>
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="attr1">
<label for="attr2">attr2 :</label>
<input type="text" id="LastName" name="attr2">
<label for="attr3">attr3 :</label>
<input type="email" id="Email" name="attr3" autocomplete="off">
<input type="submit">
I don't recommend this, because good naming helps you understand and maintain the code. Using proper attributes like name and email also helps your code be more accessible for screen readers or other assistive technology.
Autocomplete has been causing me trouble for quite some time. It overlays buttons and search results which causes users to click it instead of a link on the webpage.
I have been searching the internet for solutions to this for literally years. None of them are both practical and work consistently. I have tried all the alternatives to "off" listed throughout the relevant Google searches.
Below I have uploaded a GIF. The GIF shows me triggering autocomplete on an input which has autocomplete set to off.
I then remove the name attribute of a separate input within the form and suddenly autocomplete switches off.
I also demonstrate that having the keyword "Company" in the placeholder seems to override autocomplete=off. However, this does not seem to override autocomplete=off in all situations.
In the below example I used a datepicker, but I can also reproduced the problem with simple text inputs.
Is there a reason behind this strange behavior?
One solution is to use type="search", however, this may not be the desired approach for all developers.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried this ?
<input name="unm" id="unm" type="text" autocomplete="false" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" />
Try using a form method.
<form method="post" action="">
<div>
<label for="cc">Please work:</label>
<input type="text" id="cc" name="cc" placeholder="Enter a company here" autocomplete="off">
</div>
By suggestions, I mean the drop down menu appear when you start typing, and it's suggestions are based on what you've typed before:
For example, when I type 'a' in title field, it will give me a ton of suggestions which is pretty annoying.
How can this be turned off?
What you want is to disable HTML autocomplete Attribute.
Setting autocomplete="off" here has two effects:
It stops the browser from saving field data for later autocompletion
on similar forms though heuristics that vary by browser. It stops the
browser from caching form data in session history. When form data is
cached in session history, the information filled in by the user will
be visible after the user has submitted the form and clicked on the
Back button to go back to the original form page.

Here's an example how to do it.
<form action="#" autocomplete="on">
First name:<input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
E-mail: <input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="off"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
If it's on React framework then use as follows:
<input
id={field.name}
className="form-control"
type="text"
placeholder={field.name}
autoComplete="off"
{...fields}/>

Update
Here's an update to fix some browsers skipping "autocomplete=off" flag.
<form action="#" autocomplete="off">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br> E-mail:
<input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
On Chrome, the only method we could identify which prevented all form fills was to use autocomplete="new-password". Apply this on any input which shouldn't have autocomplete, and it'll be enforced (even if the field has nothing to do with passwords, e.g. SomeStateId filling with state form values). See this link on the Chromium bugs discussion for more detail.
Note that this only consistently works on Chromium-based browsers and Safari - Firefox doesn't have special handlers for this new-password (see this discussion for some detail).
Update: Firefox is coming aboard! Nightly v68.0a1 and Beta v67.0b5 (3/27/2019) feature support for the new-password autocomplete attribute, stable releases should be coming on 5/14/2019 per the roadmap.
Update in 2022: For input fields with a type of password, some browsers are now offering to generate secure passwords if you've specified autocomplete="new-password". There's currently no workaround if you want to suppress that behavior, but I'll update if one becomes available.
use autocomplete="off" attribute
Quote:IMPORTANT
Put the attribute on the <input> element,
NOT on the <form> element
Adding the two following attributes turn off all the field suggestions (tested on Chrome v85, Firefox v80 and Edge v44):
<input type="search" autocomplete="off">
I know it's been a while but if someone is looking for the answer this might help. I have used autocomplete="new-password" for the password field. and it solved my problem. Here is the MDN documentation.
This solution worked for me: Add readonly attribute.
Here's an update to fix some browsers skipping the
"autocomplete=off" flag.
<input type="text" name="lname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');">
autocomplete = "new-password" does not work for me.
I built a React Form.
Google Chrome will autocomplete the form input based on the name attribute.
<input
className="scp-remark"
type="text"
name="remark"
id='remark'
value={this.state.remark}
placeholder="Remark"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
It will base on the "name" attribute to decide whether to autofill your form. In this example, name: "remark". So Chrome will autofill based on all my previous "remark" inputs.
<input
className="scp-remark"
type="text"
name={uuid()} //disable Chrome autofill
id='remark'
value={this.state.remark}
placeholder="Remark"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
So, to hack this, I give name a random value using uuid() library.
import uuid from 'react-uuid';
Now, the autocomplete dropdown list will not happen.
I use the id attribute to identify the form input instead of name in the handleChange event handler
handleChange = (event) => {
const {id, value} = event.target;
this.setState({
[id]: value,
})
}
And it works for me.
I had similar issue but I eventually end up doing
<input id="inp1" autocomplete="off" maxlength="1" />
i.e.,
autocomplete = 'off' and suggestions will be disappeared.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off"> is in fact the right answer, though for me it wasn't immediately clear.
According to MDN:
If a browser keeps on making suggestions even after setting
autocomplete to off, then you have to change the name attribute of the
input element.
The attribute does prevent the future saving of data but it does not necessarily clear existing saved data. Thus, if suggestions are still being made even after setting the attribute to "off", either:
rename the input
clear existing data entries
Additionally, if you are working in a React context the attribute naturally becomes autoComplete.
Cheers!
I ended up changing the input field to
<textarea style="resize:none;"></textarea>
You'll never get autocomplete for textareas.
If you are using ReactJS. Then make this as autoComplete="off"
<input type="text" autoComplete="off" />
Just be clear I am not asking about validation,just pure layout. I am trying to display three separate input fields with a dash in between. Here is a link to what I have so far.
http://jsfiddle.net/kCNA4/
Here's my question is there a better way of doing this, am I doing it completion wrong or is the Way I wrote it correct. Thanks so much.
Looks pretty good to me - agree with comment, – should be used for hyphen, only a couple of improvements I would add. One, input type number (I know you are not worried about validation now) as HTML 5 input type definition. Also, use unique name for field so that when it is posted, you can identify the output.
<input type="number" value="" maxlength="3" name="phoneNumberFirst" id="mainFormPhoneFirst">
One of the facets about phone number entry is that there is a better 'type' available which many feature phones and mobile web browsers provide unique, number-only entry methods for.
<input type="tel" ... />
If you want just numeric input, this seems to be a great way to "force" that for mobile browsers (there's probably a workaround or doesn't work for all mobile browsers). You'll still need to filter and validate the input but I feel that the experience is going to be better for the mobile user.
You should try this simple input filed tags like this:
<input type="tel" name="tel1" title="3-digit" maxlength="3" minlength="3" size="3"/> -
<input type="tel" name="tel2" title="3-digit" maxlength="3" minlength="3" size="3"/> -
<input type="tel" name="tel3" title="4-digit" maxlength="4" minlength="4" size="4"/>
