On the other hand, '''requestAutocomplete''' only works with websites that have changed their input flow to explicitly request some personal information from the browser. This feature shows a browser-provided interface that provides data to the website. While the feature could be used in an "unclear" way to populate visible fields, similarly to form autofill, we can ensure that the difference is clear by '''requiring that target form fields are hidden''' at the time of the request to autocomplete them. | On the other hand, '''requestAutocomplete''' only works with websites that have changed their input flow to explicitly request some personal information from the browser.
