Chrome autofill dropdown triggered by title field in profile

AI-generated summary

The Chrome autofill dropdown is being triggered by the title field in a user profile, as reported by Jose_C_Gomez on Windows 10. pmusaraj was unable to reproduce the issue on Safari or Chrome on a Mac. awesomerobot suspects that Chrome may be incorrectly guessing which inputs need auto-completing, possibly due to a similar structure to a credit card input on another site. sam indicates that a fix has been implemented in the Discourse codebase, addressing Chrome’s refusal to honor the autocomplete off setting.

After I upgraded this weekend, now the Title in a user profile triggers the Credit Card auto fill

Not sure it matters , its just weird.

I can’t reproduce this on Safari or Chrome in a Mac. Can you share your browser/OS where this is happening?

There’s definitely nothing here indicating that it’s a credit card input…

…possibly another issue with whatever weird stuff Chrome started doing with guessing which inputs need auto-completing (related: New post/reply sometimes tries to autocomplete my address on Chrome).

I wonder if you’ve used a site that happens to structure their credit card input similar to our title input and Chrome is trying to be too smart about it?

Thanks for looking into it!

Should be fixed per:

Chrome refuse to give us autocomplete off.
