I have some input fields in my html DOM which have absolutely nothing special, but Chrome offers me the saved credentials when I click on it. This is annoying if you have a field which only contains a persons name for example. As this is not on all of my input fields, there must be a reason why Chrome means that this is a credential field? Does anyone know what is triggering Chrome to offer his credential auto-complete window on an input field?
This is an example:
<label><input type="text" value=""></label>
.filterInput /* input box for edit window */.
{
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
width: 97%;
height: 16px;
color: var(--filter-text-color);
}

This article may have helpful information regarding your issue. Hope it helps.
Key bits of information that seem to be the most relevant to your issue:
Use autocomplete="false" instead of autocomplete="off" as the latter does not work on Chrome. (Some say it works, others say it does not. You'll just have to test it yourself)
Here's a quote from the article -
It's silly that we have to resort to this, but the only sure way is to try and confuse the browser as much as possible:
Name your inputs without leaking any information to the browser, i.e. id="field1" instead of id="country".
Set autocomplete="do-not-autofill", basically use any value that won't let the browser recognize it as an autofillable field.
As well as this -
Chrome now ignores . Therefore my original workaround (which I had deleted) is now all the rage.
Simply create a couple of fields and make them hidden with "display:none". Example:
<!-- fake fields are a workaround for chrome autofill getting the wrong fields -->
<input style="display: none" type="text" name="fakeusernameremembered" />
<input style="display: none" type="password" name="fakepasswordremembered" />

Using this link
and trying many things I could find a solution for my problem.
As I do not use forms, I just put a
<form action = "javascript:void(0)"></form>
around the input fields which trigger the autocomplete on mistake.
