Browser Autocomplete Naming Conventions and Testing

Question

Is there a comprehensive list of browser autocomplete naming conventions somewhere? I would like to know what to name form fields and such so the browser can autocomplete them, and so I can decide if I want to use the autocomplete feature, or if I should rename the fields to something else.

Answer 1

I would advise you to choose rather unique names for your fields. It is very annoying when FireFox gathers all "Email" inputs from all sites I visit and then shows them all in a long list whenever I try to enter my email somewhere else.

If somebody will use your PC to quickly check their mails they will know all your other email names in an instant. Not good.
