My solution to this was to define the renderInput: props => <input {...props} autoComplete='new-password' />; |

Currently, react-autocomplete inputs are set to have an HTML autocomplete attribute value of "off". This is smart for preventing a stacking of autocomplete UIs, but can cause problems in some scenarios.
For example, a checkout form may have an address field with as-you-type suggestions shown using react-autocomplete. A user would expect to be able to click on the name field, click a browser-provided suggestion, and have all saved fields fields completed (including name, address, state and zip). Because of the hardcoded "off" value, all fields in this scenario will autofill except for the address field, leading to confusion for the user.
