How to fix autocomplete valid on Wix
Add a valid, correctly matched `autocomplete` attribute to every personal-data form field so browsers and assistive technologies can autofill them reliably.
Steps for Wix
- Open the Wix Editor for your site.
- Click on the form widget containing the field you want to fix.
- Wix's native form fields do not expose an autocomplete attribute in the standard Editor UI; for Wix forms (Wix Forms app), raise a feature request via Wix Support, as this is a platform limitation.
- If you have a Wix Studio (formerly Editor X) site with custom-coded sections, go to the Dev Mode panel, locate the input element in your custom code, and add the autocomplete attribute directly in the HTML/JSX.
- For third-party embedded forms (e.g., a Typeform or HubSpot form embedded via HTML embed), edit the form in the third-party tool's settings to add autocomplete attributes.
<input type="text" name="first_name" autocomplete="given-name" placeholder="First name">
<input type="text" name="last_name" autocomplete="family-name" placeholder="Last name">
<input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="email" placeholder="Email address">
<input type="tel" name="phone" autocomplete="tel" placeholder="Phone number">
<input type="text" name="address1" autocomplete="address-line1" placeholder="Street address">
<input type="text" name="city" autocomplete="address-level2" placeholder="City">
<input type="text" name="postcode" autocomplete="postal-code" placeholder="Postcode / ZIP">
<input type="text" name="cc_number" autocomplete="cc-number" placeholder="Card number">
<input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="current-password" placeholder="Password">What is autocomplete valid?
The HTML `autocomplete` attribute tells browsers (and password managers, screen readers, and autofill tools) exactly what kind of information a form field expects — for example, a shipping first name, a credit card number, or an email address. WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.5 ("Identify Input Purpose") requires that any field collecting personal information uses one of the officially recognised `autocomplete` token values, and that the token actually matches what the field is for. If the attribute is missing, misspelled, or set to the wrong value (e.g., `autocomplete="firstname"` instead of `autocomplete="given-name"`), browsers cannot reliably autofill the field and assistive technologies cannot identify its purpose.
Failing WCAG 1.3.5 creates real legal and commercial risk: accessibility laws in the US (ADA), UK (Equality Act), EU (European Accessibility Act), and elsewhere increasingly require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, and incorrect `autocomplete` is a straightforward, auditable violation. Beyond compliance, customers — especially those with motor disabilities, cognitive impairments, or anyone on a mobile device — rely on browser autofill to complete checkout quickly. Broken autofill adds friction that directly increases cart abandonment and reduces conversion rates. Fixing it is one of the fastest wins you can get on a checkout or registration form.
