1.3 Adaptable · Perceivable
WCAG 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose
Level AA
Form inputs collecting information about the user must declare their purpose with the appropriate `autocomplete` token so browsers and assistive tech can autofill or relabel them.
Common failures
- Address forms have no `autocomplete="street-address"` etc.
- Email inputs use `type="text"` with no `autocomplete="email"`.
How to fix
- Add the relevant HTML5 `autocomplete` attribute to every personal-data input.
- Use the correct input `type` (`email`, `tel`, `url`) so mobile keyboards adapt.
