When WCAG 2.1 came out in 2018, it introduced a new success criterion namely 1.3.5 – Identify Input Purpose. It aims to ease the auto-fill capability of browsers and other assistive technologies when web sites and apps ask the users to fill out personal information. One of the sufficient techniques suggested to test for the success criterion is the use of HTML autocomplete attributes along with autofill tokens specified in HTML 5.2.

The HTML autofill tokens help machines identify the purpose of the input control irrespective of the visible label used, whether it is a visible text label or an icon. In the future, the personalization of the web is going to be a huge phenomenon and people will use different assistive technologies and devices to render and access content. Given this context, if the visible label is provided in the form of an icon instead of text, the machines can still interpret what the input type is and provide the user with necessary hints to fill the forms successfully.

There are 53 HTML 5.2 autofill tokens. In this post, we are providing them for easy access along with a short explanation for each token.
