input field saved passwords on wrong input field

Question

I have a few input fields on my website. There are few passwords saved for that website(Chrome Login Saved passwords). But the problem i am facing is that the email is appearing on the input field which is not for email i.e somewhere else on that same website. This is the input field code where i don't want chrome to autofill/autocomplete as it is not required here. I have tried autocomplete =off/false/new-password nothing worked.

<input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics"  autocomplete="off">

When you click on the field above it shows the saved passwords for that website which is not required on this field.

can you please elaborate what are you trying to do,and what results are you expecting? — Shubham Chopra, Mar 08 '19 at 12:26

I found the solution. The browser ignores autocomplete="off" unless it is in a form. Therefore, the code below removed the autofill suggestions.

<form autocomplete="off"><input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics"></form>

Google chrome ignores autocomplete="off" so you can try to make another input field above it to fool the browser

<input type="text" style="visibilty:hidden">

<input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics"  autocomplete="off">
