Chrome is autofilling my select2 input with its placeholder - google-chrome

I'm currently experiencing a very annoying problem with Google Chrome. I have some filters that are a multi-select and when I click to type on those filters, chrome suggests as an autofill option the placeholder for that select. I've never typed that text on this field, Chrome is getting that from the placeholder of the input.
Also, it seems that Google saved that placeholder as a "suggestion" to fill data on forms.
I've already tried to set those fields as autocomplete="off" and autocomplete="new-password and it did not work.
If I disable Chrome Option to autofill addresses, phone numbers and etc, this problem goes away.
I would like to be able to suppress chrome from suggesting this since it does not make any sense and makes using the filter a pain. I'm not sure if this is a chrome bug, a bug with select2, a combination of both. I've been looking everywhere on the internet to a solution and could not find one, does anybody know how to solve this?

To turn off the auto suggestions which are displayed in chrome try adding
<input autocomplete="off">
Even after adding this if chrome tries to give you auto suggestion, the most widely used technique is to add an hidden input field above your field to solve this problem
<input style="display:none" type="password" name="pass"/>
Adding this above input must solve the problem

Try to add another select2 with display="none", visibility="hidden" and autocomplete="off" before that one and see if the problem goes away.
Had this issue with a password input a while ago and that did the trick.

How do I stop "Type '/' from your saved info" (on Edge) from appearing on my site's search field?

I recently added a location search field on my site which shows suggestions based on what you type, but on Microsoft edge, a menu pops up on clicking on the input field. How can I disable this menu from appearing on just this input field of my site?
Based on the image you provided, I think this should be caused by some default settings in Edge. If you want to turn off this prompt, just navigate to: edge://settings/personalinfo in Edge and disable this feature like this image below:
I had today the same problem. I had input field without label and empty placeholder. Setting placeholder"..." and making the placeholder transparent makes that edge does not anymore offer "type / ..."
Hth
I believe what you're looking for is:
spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" aria-autocomplete="none"
The aria-autocomplete seems to prevent that box from popping up and the spellcheck seems to also stop the spell checker one from displaying.
There are places where autocomplete and spellcheck would come in handy, but NOT in single-line fields like email, website, or an <input> where I have my own Bootstrap dropdown-menu/dropdown-item list that displays retrieved DB records via AJAX as the user types (in this case, the Edge popups were ovelaying my DropDown list).
Anyway, adding this code to the <input class="whatever" id="whatever" spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" aria-autocomplete="none" placeholder="whatever" value="whatever" > seems to solve the issue and you don't have to get all your users to change the browser attributes or mess with the placeholder. Hope this helps... :)

Remove Browser Autofill feature

I need to remove the browser's autofill/suggestion feature.
This autofill is disabled using autocomplete="off" in Textfield component. once I do that this brings browser's auto fill feature
In Edge, If I turn off the "Save and fill the personal info" option in "Settings/Profile/Personal info" the above suggestion is not shown. Is there any way without turning off that setting I can remove the autofill feature using Material UI TextField property or CSS property "input:-webkit-autofill"
If autocomplete fails to work, most likely it's a bug or for some reason, react is preventing the attribute from being modified.
However, I know a simple way to bypass by changing the type attribute to something random, where the browser can't understand what it should ask from the user and therefore, the browser can't prompt an autofill.
For example on a standard HTML input tag:
<input type="inputText"/>
This will still treat it as an input field, however, it will not attempt to autofill.
Its browser functionality which you cant handle from code level. If you want to prevent it than you have to made setting changes in browser
Turning Off Autofill in Chrome
Click the Chrome menu icon. (Three dots at top right of screen.)
Click on Settings.
In the "Autofill" section, expand the area for which you wish to disable Autofill.
Toggle the setting OFF if it is on. The system will automatically save your settings.

So for html you can simply put autocomplete="new-password" in your
Auto-complete="off" can also be used nut it has some drawbacks.
Banks and other security institutes turn auto complete off .Problem is user change frequently their passwords and fields and use simple passwords to remeber.So auto complete is good feature in these cases.
But you can try this solution if you want .I hope it will work fine
<input type="password" autocomplete="new-password">
you can add autocomplete="off" to your form or input but many modern browsers do not support autocomplete="off" for login fields
but you can prevent it using autocomplete="new-password"
Preventing autofilling with autocomplete="new-password"

Its most likely a bug, the solution I've found works best is to have auto-complete have a hard coded random value which will prevent a user from using auto-complete...
Try this:
<input type='password' name='pass' autocomplete='password' />
In terms of the auto-complete value you can have anything you want there.
New edit:
<script>
// Execute this code when page is
// totally loaded
$(document).ready(function () {
/* Setting the autocomplete of
input field to off to make
autofill to disable */
$("#name").prop("autocomplete", "off");
});
</script>

How to ensure correct HTML color input is updated?

Create two color input elements, then using specifically macos Firefox (Big Sur, latest updates applied) observe that:
opening the colour picker and modifying a colour correctly affects the selected input
without closing the picker, double click the next input and modifying a colour correctly affects the newly selected input
now double click the first input again, try to modify the colour - the second input is incorrectly updated instead.
I have a non-trivial example of multiple colour input in a single view, and have also now replicated the issue in a simplified example to confirm it isn't our implementation going awry.
Worse, with several inputs in a single view (and maybe this part is our implementation) the above bug appears to compound to the point where the inputs no longer invoke a colour picker. No browser crash or page hangs etc, just apparently non-functional.
<input type="color" id="me" />
<input type="color" id="you" />
The above is all you need to replicate the issue. Live example also here: https://codepen.io/davewallace/pen/KKaGPLX
Possibly a browser/OS combination bug, would appreciate advice or thoughts.
Ok, looks like a possible resurgence of a Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975468

AutoFill resets checkboxes

I created a basic html forms which includes some selectable options via checkboxes and some textfields for things like user name and address data.
Each time a user tries to fill out the form with Chrome's AutoFill option, Chrome seems to uncheck all Checkboxes.
Is this a general Bug in Chrome and how can I solve this problem?
Seems to be an issue with Chromium, hopefully it will be fixed in the next version: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=244645

Chrome weird behavior

I have some bugs with Chrome. Since a few weeks ago the placeholders don't behave, when I click on the input the placeholder should be hidden, but it stays there until I type. And also the location.href in js scripts don't work. When I click a link I should be redirected but nothing happens since I noticed the placeholder bug.
What could be the problem ? I tried reinstalling Chrome but that didn't fixed it.
According to http://crbug.com/106714, the placeholder thing is expected behavior. And what is wrong with your location.href? Do you have a test case? If that's a real bug, search for one on http://crbug.com and file and new one at http://new.crbug.com if none has been filed yet.
