Form Autofill & Input Semantics

Form fields declare the right type and autocomplete so browsers and password managers assist correctly.

Check

Every field sets the correct type (email, tel, url) and inputmode; personal-data fields set an autocomplete token (name, email, tel, one-time-code, etc.); password fields work with managers; numeric fields show the numeric keypad on mobile.

Why This Matters

Correct input semantics cut form-completion time dramatically: the right mobile keyboard appears, browsers autofill known values, and password managers save credentials. It reduces the number of decisions and keystrokes (Hick's Law and reduced effort).

How to Verify

On a real mobile device, focus each field and confirm the correct keyboard appears. In a browser with saved data, confirm autofill offers the right values into the right fields.
