Tested this with Autocomplete off in both Safari and Chrome, but completed the forms with Lastpass. Same problem.

#12Doesn't seem to be an issue in Firefox, as far as I can tell. Certainly didn't fill any other fields for me.
I have the same results.
Doesn't matter what I picked in autocomplete, nothing else was submitted.
(firefox 24 on linux)

#13I always disable all "auto" functions in any browser. Autocompete for forms and URLs, remember passwords, everything I can find a switch for I turn off. Makes the browser faster and I feel like I'm more in control of it.

#14This is weird, I'm on chrome but it doesn't happen for me...
The first time I filled in my credit card number I vaguely remember Chrome asking if I wanted to save it and I declined. After that I never saw that option again. Maybe it's the same in your case?
Re: Don't use autofill in your browser
#15That's a misuse for the term "autocomplete" in my opinion. What he complains about is "autofill", not "autocomplete" as I understand it. Autocomplete takes the values you used previously and gives you suggestions for the stuff you're typing in yourself. Autofill tries to guess what values are required and fills them in without additional interactions.
They're very different mechanisms...

#161password works great, and is secure.

#17Seems to work correctly (only name is submitted as one would expect) on Firefox 24.0 and Chromium 30.0.
Edit: This is on Gentoo Linux.

I just tried 1password Safari integration with the test form[0] and it had the same problem as Safari's own autofill (it filled out the hidden fields).

If only you could turn off auto-rendering, that bugs the hell out of me
Re: Don't use autofill in your browser
#20Should be easy to make a proof of concept page to scare people dumb enough to have credit card auto-complete. Just make hidden form fields for every field name you can think of, then make some onload javascript to welcome them to the page with any fields that aren't empty.
Oh, c'mon! Storing credit card data in Autofill is actually recommended by Google and considered secure: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en You shouldn't call people dumb for following Google's instructions. I agree with you that storing CC details in a web browser is a bad idea, but we should take issue with Chrome here (and other browsers) not with regular "dumb" users.
Apple are also touting credit card autofill with their new version of OS X, with strong claims of security. http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/#gallery-icloud-keychain-...
