Four public forms on PubTrivia lack autocomplete attributes, a WCAG 1.3.5 failure
A developer audited the PubTrivia app and found that none of the six inputs across its four public forms declare an autocomplete attribute. This omission violates WCAG success criterion 1.3.5 (Identify Input Purpose), which is a Level AA requirement. On the signup form, the missing token also changes browser behaviour, since password managers and Safari may not offer strong-password suggestions. The author notes that browsers currently guess field purpose from names and types, which is fragile. The only autocomplete attribute in the codebase is autoComplete="off" on the player name field in the lobby, which is deliberate.
