Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-02 19:52:47 UTC 
It would be useful for logging in and creating accounts to know which field is the username:

   <input type=text name=uid autocomplete="username">
   <input type=text name=message>
   <input type=password name=pwd>
Comment 1 Mike West 2014-04-03 09:02:39 UTC 
Chrome would be happy to support this syntax. The heuristics we're using now are a pain point for our current autofill implementation.
Comment 2 Edward O'Connor 2014-04-11 22:42:16 UTC 
Safari would welcome a username autocomplete token.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-14 18:03:11 UTC
