If user chooses to save, data entered in these fields will be cached by the browser. An attacker who can access the victim's browser could steal this information.
This is especially important if the application is commonly used in shared computers, such as cyber cafes or airport terminals.
AutoComplete allows browsers to store previously entered form data to help users fill forms faster. However, if sensitive fields such as passwords, personal details, payment information, or confidential data are stored, attackers with access to the browser can retrieve this information.
This is especially dangerous on shared or public systems like offices, airports, and cyber cafes.
While AutoComplete is useful for convenience, disabling it on sensitive forms is crucial for preventing data exposure on shared and insecure systems.
