Lucas and Luna investigate a pervasive but little-known bug in modern web forms: the autocomplete attribute that silently blocks browser autofill. They walk through Google's 2021 decision to ignore autocomplete='off' on password fields, the nuance of autocomplete='new-password' vs autocomplete='off', and why many developers still set autocomplete='nope' out of habit — breaking the user experience. Using the real-world example of a checkout flow that lost 12% conversion because autofill wasn't working, they explain how to correctly name autocomplete tokens, test with browser dev tools, and avoid accessibility pitfalls. The episode includes a practical checklist for auditing forms and a note on Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention interfering with form detection. Perfect for frontend developers who want to ship forms that actually work.
