1	AutoComplete is an attribute to the text box that is used by browser to save the typed text into the TextBox for quick entry of the data next time. In case, autocomplete is on for the username, or account number or other personal infnormation text boxes it is easy to steal those data so for sensitive data fields, it is suggested to make autocomplete off. If you want to disable it write autocomplete attribute to off like this <input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="name1" /> Hope this helps.
