# Browser Autofill Phishing 🐟
[![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anttiviljami/browser-autofill-phishing/master/LICENSE.md)

This is a simple demonstration of form fields hidden from the user, but will be
filled anyways when using the browser form autofill feature, which poses a
security risk for users, unaware of giving their information to the website.

## Google Chrome behaviour

Here's the demo in action on the Google Chrome Browser:

## Other browsers

It works differently in some other browsers. For example:

* In Safari, it will tell you all the data it is filling into the form, even
  if it isn't visible to you.

* In Firefox, you have to right click an input field and then select an
  identity to use. So a Firefox user autofills each field.
