No strong objection to this, but just a note: I think we should consider whether there are privacy implications to this, and whether we should do anything to mitigate them. Whether a browser autofills something depends on whether a user as visited a site before or nor, whether the user has saved some information for that particular type of field or not, etc. This feels like a (small) source of information about the user, as well as a potential source of finger printing. Admittedly, as @fantasai pointed out, sites can already infer that information by looking at whether forms field have been filled in withing less than 1 second of loading the site or something like that. At the same time, this would offer an easier way to access that information, which would work even when JS is turned off. This is probably not a fatal flaw, but it seems worth considering. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5775#issuecomment-755793947 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
