"A user agent may allow the user to override the resulting autocompletion state
and set it to always on, always allowing values to be remembered and
prefilled), or always off, never remembering values. However, the ability to
override the resulting autocompletion state to on should not be trivially
accessible, as there are significant security implications for the user if all
values are always remembered, regardless of the site's preferences."

Please use a term other than "trivially accessible" and reserve the term
"accessible" for accessibility by users with disabilities.
