The autocomplete attribute defines if an input or a form field must have the autocomplete "on" or "off".
With the autocomplete attribute the browser predicts the value, and when a user starts typing in a field, the browser displays options to fill in the field, based on earlier typed values.
The autocomplete can be "on" for the input, and "off" for particular input fields, or vice versa.
Note: The autocomplete attribute works with such <input> types, like text, search, tel, url, password, email, range, and color.
