Hi Everyone,

WCAG introduced this new guideline a part of there 2.1 release to provide
more purpose to the input fields. But my question is, how can we capture a
violation against this guideline? Beacuse currently there is on faliure
technique provided by WCAG.Although, there is a sufficient technique which
talks about use of auto-fill attributes in input fields.
But can we capture a violation if that sufficient technique is not followed
in a scenario?

Example: In a form, suppose we have two password fields one for current and
other one for new password. Purposeful label is provided for both but no
auto-fill="{current-password | new-password}". Now the question is, can we
capture a violation here?

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards
