A simple JavaScript demo showing how hidden form fields can be silently filled by browser autofill to phish user data. It demonstrates the security risk of browser autofill across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

Use cases

  • demonstrate browser autofill phishing risk
  • show users how hidden form fields steal autofill data
  • security awareness training about autocomplete
  • test how different browsers handle autofill of hidden fields
  • educate teams on why to avoid autocomplete on sensitive forms

When to choose

  • you need a hands-on demo of autofill phishing for security education
  • you want to compare autofill behavior across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready phishing detection or prevention tool
  • you want a library to integrate into an app rather than a demo page
  • you need an actively developed project with recent updates
