OK? Unrelated to what I was talking about. I'm saying devs do it out of convenience. What you do with that is not their problem, really. Most people like Google auth.

Again, totally irrelevant? I was not talking about autocomplete=off, but about the dozens of available autocomplete values, which is what leonidasv was asking about: A standard for the various autofill forms.

Funnily enough, you're nicely showcasing the problem yourself: You're a developer who didn't bother doing the research, and yet complains upthread about the lack of standards or whatever. I invite you to look at this page:
