Autofill for dynamically changing forms

• Past
• Confirmed
• Breakout Sessions

Autofill is a key feature of the web that reduces friction for millions of users everyday. However, there are areas where Autofill as defined in HTML and as implemented in browsers fails to address website needs. One such area is in dealing with dynamically changing forms, especially address forms which are often dynamic - different geographies have different shapes and requirements for address input.

A proposal has been made to address (pun intended) this situation, but requires consideration and discussion as to whether it meets the needs and constraints of both browsers and websites (particularly e-commerce sites). See also issues https://github.com/WICG/address-autofill/issues/14 and https://github.com/WICG/address-autofill/issues/15 filed by Google Chrome.

The focus of this session will be on the above proposal, but we welcome all who are interested in how Autofill could be improved to make for a better experience for both users and websites!
