As of Dec 9, 2019, with Chrome v78.x
I've been experiencing serious problems with disabling auto-completion menus in some places of my web front-end application. Especially on the Chrome browser, even after I applied autocomplete="off" to text inputs that are related with user's physical addresses, it still bugged me with a new type of auto-completion menu with "Manage addresses" option in its underneath.
Here's something obvious: Google Chrome automatically assigns this sort of menu to text inputs that have placeholders like "Street" and "Destination ZIP".
This thing is a real bummer because there's literally no way to turn it off unless the input element is not even remotely related with "addressy" terms.
The client made it clear that there should be no auto-completion menus attached. But we cannot display address-related inputs without using address-related words.
What would be the solution to this?
