## JavaScript DOM: Input Email autocomplete Property
The `autocomplete` property of the Input Email object is used to set or return the value of the `autocomplete` attribute of an email input field.
When autocomplete is enabled (`on`), the browser automatically suggests values based on what the user has previously entered in that field.
