This rule applies to any HTML `input`, `select` and `textarea` element with an `autocomplete` [attribute value][] that is neither empty (`""`) nor only [ASCII whitespace][], except if one of the following is true:

- **hidden**: the element is not [visible][], and not [included in the accessibility tree][]; or
- **disabled**: the element has an `aria-disabled` [attribute value][] of `true`; or
- **disabled**: the element is a [disabled element]; or
- **fixed value**: the element is an `input` element with a `type` [attribute value][] of either `hidden`, `button`, `submit` or `reset`; or
- **static**: the element is not part of [sequential focus navigation][] and has a [semantic role][] that is not a [widget role][].

The `autocomplete` attribute is used on form fields that correspond to [Input Purposes for User Interface Components](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#input-purposes) and collect information about the user.

If the `autocomplete` field is used to describe "custom" taxonomy, rather than that described in the list of `input` purposes, or the form fields do not collect information about the user, success Criterion [1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose][sc135] may be satisfied even if this rule failed.
If the `autocomplete` attribute is used to describe "custom" taxonomy, for example `<input type="text" autocomplete="banner" />`, success Criterion [1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose][sc135] may be satisfied even if this rule failed.

The `type` attribute is used correctly according to the intended purpose of `input` elements. If an incorrect `type` attribute is used for `input` elements, this rule may fail elements that satisfy success Criterion [1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose][sc135]. For example if an `input` element has a `type` of `number`, but is expecting an e-mail address.
