Official methodology to test criterion 11.13

Test 1 (11.13.1)

  1. Find in the document the form fields which relate to information about the user (surname, first name, telephone number, etc.).
  2. For each form field, check that
    • The form field has an autocomplete attribute.
    • The autocomplete attribute has a value from the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="list of possible values - new window" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/sec-forms.html#autofill-processing-model">list of possible values</a>.
    • The value indicated for the autocomplete attribute is relevant to the type of information expected.
  3. If this is the case for each form field found, the test is validated.
