Bad value “new-password” for attribute “autocomplete” on element “input”: The autofill field name “new-password” is not allowed in this context.

The autocomplete="new-password" value can only be used on <input> elements whose type accepts password input, specifically type="password".

The autocomplete attribute helps browsers autofill form fields. However, certain autofill tokens are restricted to specific input types. The new-password token tells the browser to suggest a new, generated password — which only makes sense on a password field. If you use it on a type="text", type="email", or other non-password input, the validator will flag it as invalid.

The same restriction applies to current-password. Both tokens are exclusively valid on <input type="password">.

Invalid Example

<label for="pass">Create a password</label>
<input type="text" id="pass" autocomplete="new-password">

Valid Example

<label for="pass">Create a password</label>
<input type="password" id="pass" autocomplete="new-password">

If your field is not meant to collect a password, use a different autocomplete value appropriate for the input type, such as username, email, or off.
