Is Remembering your email, address, and name a cognitive tests - response to wcag 2.2 issue

Hi folks

https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1901 starts:

*Remembering your email, address, and name are not cognitive tests. This is
suggested by ...*

*The common identifiers name, e-mail, and phone number are not considered
cognitive function tests as they are personal to the user and consistent
across websites;*

*There would be a requirement from 1.3.5: Identify Input Purpose
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/identify-input-purpose.html> to
have autocomplete......*


On the call today  we wanted to respond as follows:

*COGA: Remembering your email, address, and name are tests of  cognitive
ability.  In fact they are just the type of test in a MCI mini mental test.
They may be allowed for authentication as they can be copy pasted from a
notepad , or filled in automatically by autocomplete. *


*Any objections?*

*Lisa*
