+## Autocomplete
+
+The `autocomplete` attribute is another tool that can be used to improve
+accessibility. It is a native HTML attribute that improves the browser's ability
+to pre-populate form fields with user-preferred values and makes inputs easier
+and more efficient to complete for all users. For ease of use, the `TextInput`
+component provides a few methods for incorporating the `autocomplete` attribute.
+
+If the `type` prop is set to `"email"`, `"tel"`, or `"url"`, the component will
+automatically add the `autocomplete` attribute with an appropriate value.
+
+Additionally, the `autoComplete` prop can be used to set the `autocomplete`
+attribute manually. When the `autoComplete` prop is set, its value will be used
+to set the `autocomplete` attribute on the input field. Furthermore, if the
+`type` prop is set to `"email"`, `"tel"`, or `"url"`, the value of the
+`autoComplete` prop will override the value automatically added by the
+component.
+
+Using the `autoComplete` prop can be helpful when it is necessary to set
+`autocomplete` attribute values that are not automatically added by the
+component or when privacy is a concern. For example, setting the `autoComplete`
+prop to `"off"` will disable the native browser based autocomplete
+functionality.
