Last I checked you can always give Chrome a stronger hint not to autocomplete using something like this:

    document.querySelectorAll("input[autocomplete=off]")
        .forEach(element =>
            element.autocomplete = window && window.chrome ? "hell-no-chrome" : "off"
        );
I think it's a shame that they didn't design UI or something to coordinate with the user to override it in less well-behaved web apps. Instead, they just decided to ignore it completely.
