I found this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=132135 which was created when someone noticed the issue happening to their honeypot input box. Looks like it was closed a while ago.

I saw this example doing the rounds on twitter. Hopefully the chrome devs notice the noise and move up the priority on fixing / addressing it.

> Chrome Autofill is specifically designed to help users quickly fill forms that they've never filled before.

Browsers auto-guessing private data into arbitrary fields on never-before-used webpages?

IMO that's "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" territory.
