autocomplete="off" doesn't work in Chrome

See original GitHub issue

using autocomplete="off" does not stop Chrome’s autofill from working.

The current workaround is to pass a random value to it

I use autocomplete="nope" and it works great. You can put in any string value that is not “off” or “on” in there.

I suggest autocomplete="awesomplete"

I guess I should release a new version with the revert. Would that work for y’all? If so, I can do it later today.
