Group setting user filter shows the “hide my mail” popup on MacOS.
AI-generated summary
The discussion “User filter ‘hide my mail’ popup” revolves around an issue with the group setting user filter on MacOS. tvavrda reports that the filter triggers a “hide my mail” popup. awesomerobot investigates and finds that the popup appears due to the “username or email” placeholder, which can be removed to prevent the popup. However, even with autocomplete="off" indicated, the filter still ignores it and is not intelligent. awesomerobot concludes that the issue cannot be prevented without avoiding the use of words like “email” or “username”, as Apple does not provide websites with control over this feature.

Hmm yes it seems they’re picking up on the “username or email” placeholder… if I remove the placeholder, the popup no longer appears
This is frustrating because we do indicate autocomplete="off" here and they’re choosing to ignore it… and their filter isn’t very intelligent
Even just “username” triggers a different autocomplete
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like we can do much to prevent this aside from not using the words “email” or “username,” Apple provides websites no control.
