Description

e.g. in component autocomplete, the attribute autocomplete is set to off to prevent the browser from autofilling. In many cases the browser ignores this attribute with "off". It looks like setting "one-time-code" will prevent it from autofilling.

Research direction

Start with the Autocomplete component's handling of the autocomplete attribute and review how it currently sets the value to "off". Check the reported browser behavior, then verify that the component uses the proposed value without breaking its existing autocomplete behavior.
