Another option is to use the aria-label attribute:

It works just like the title attribute, but produces no tooltip.

Example:

<input type="text" name="firstname" size="15" aria-label="First Name">

Subject: [WebAIM] Usage of title attribute or hidden label

Hi All,
 
I have a scenario where I can't use visual text label does title attribute to input field or a hidden label will be a better option to implement as per accessibility guideline.
 
Thanks in advance.
