Autofill: use autocomplete tokens

A short, practical UI accessibility note for games and web UIs. No tracking.

What goes wrong

If the browser has to guess what a field means, autofill becomes unreliable. That can create friction (or outright failure) for:

• people with mobility or fatigue issues (autofill reduces typing),
• anyone using a controller/TV keyboard,
• people switching devices frequently,
• and users who just want fewer steps.

What to do instead

Keep real labels, then add the right autocomplete tokens so the browser can match fields intentionally.

<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" autocomplete="email" inputmode="email" />

<label for="name">Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" autocomplete="name" />

If you’re collecting something else (shipping address, one-time codes, etc.), use the matching token from the HTML spec list.
