⚠️ Oops! Autofill can sometimes act like that overly eager waiter who keeps bringing your order even after you said, "No thanks!" 🍽️ Think of password autofill as a restaurant that keeps serving you food even after you’ve signaled you’re done. It’s like trying to clear your plate but the server just doesn’t get the hint! This issue could leave your passwords exposed, as autofill might reinsert credentials even after you’ve manually cleared them. Users could unknowingly put their accounts at risk if they believe their passwords have been securely removed but they show up again!
