Autofill does not respect autocomplete="off"

Reported by j...@squareup.com, Dec 12

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a form input with autocomplete="off"
2. Focus on field
3. Autocomplete will still try and fill the field

What is the expected behavior?
Respect the HTML attribute autocomplete="off" and not display the autocomplete dropdown.

What went wrong?
Autocomplete covers the existing dropdown for customer selection.

Did this work before? Yes Unknown.

There is a similar bug from 2014 that was marked as "Won't Fix". This really needs to be fixed as you can see from the attached screenshot.

Able to reproduce the issue on Win 10, Mac 14.2 and Ubuntu using Canary #73.0.3639.0, Dev 72.0.3626.14, Beta 72.0.3626.17 and Stable 71.0.3578.98 using https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=FY7683X7YLZR

Issue existing from M34 version.

Requesting Dev team to check the issue and update accordingly.
This is breaking the user experience exceptionally, specially where there are auto suggest feature to select user input from dynamic list of data like selecting city of journey. In such cases there are two auto suggest popup are coming.

Very annoying bug. It causes problems for our website in two major cases:

1) on administration area pages.
When customer care rep. enters city, address, email or other information, it is usually NOT his own address but user's address. I want to completely turn autosuggest\autocomplete off, for individual field or entire form.

2) with custom autosuggest lists.
In this case two lists are shown, see screenshort.

It's not clear for me, why Chrome decides to show autosuggest, while web developer explicitly says "turn it off for this field!"
