Chrome Username Fill for Documentation URL

Has anyone else noticed Chrome fills your saved username in the “Documentation URL” field. It is just a little annoyance, but it bites me over and over again it seems.

Yup, does the same for me, and has already been reported here… and Chrome does it so stubbornly for me, every time I edit a rule or create a new one, it is auto-filled in and I have to clear the field, but sometimes Chrome still sneaks it in again before I save.

I’ve googled a bit and allegedly, a possible solution is to click the “clear cache” button on the chrome://autofill-internals page, followed by closing and re-opening affected tabs. This seems to do the trick for me, I have yet to see for how long. Clicking in the documentation URL field still opens some suggestions, but they look more like “text I have entered into this field in the past” suggestions than a list of usernames Chrome knows, so it might actually have worked.

OK, the cache clear at chrome://autofill-internals did not really work, the behavious is back :frowning:

I have the same for no reason on different PCs :confused: I fix this and after some time, the issue is back :frowning:

Guys - is it possible to get a solution for this? It’s really bothersome.

autocomplete=“off” or something simple like that would eventually solve the problem.

Experiencing this with Edge (Chromium).

Has anyone found a solution/workaround for this annoying issue with the Document URL populating the username?

@thohenstatt could you have a look?
