autocomplete tokens for EID and IMEI #9884
Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
Autofill of the Embedded Identity Document (EID) and International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) in select contexts whereby HTML forms are used.
What solutions exist today?
None.
How would you solve it?
Colleagues and I would like to suggest adding these autocomplete tokens for EID and IMEI:
device-eiddevice-imei
It's not expected that general purpose user agents support autofill for these identifiers. In fact, we'd recommend against it. The main implication for general purpose user agents is supporting them for the purposes of the IDL-exposed autofill value.
We expect these to be useful in select operating system or trusted application flows whereby the operating system can guarantee the information is shared, provided the user consents, with a trusted party.
Anything else?
Usage might look as follows:
<p><label>EID: <input name=eid inputmode=numeric autocomplete=device-eid></label>
<p><label>IMEI: <input name=imei inputmode=numeric autocomplete=device-imei></label>@battre @hsinyi @DimiDL @whatwg/forms I'd appreciate your feedback.
