Disable Autocomplete on Sensitive Form Fields to Protect User Data

Security Analyzer

What is this warning?

A form field that collects sensitive information (like a credit card number or a one-time password) has browser autocomplete enabled. This could cause the browser to save this sensitive data, which could be a security risk, especially on shared computers. It's best to disable this feature for such fields.
