Form AutoComplete
AutoComplete (form autocomplete) stores everything you type in web pages (for example your name, e-mail address, credit card information, keywords you enter in search engines, etc). AutoComplete helps the user complete the form by suggesting possible matches - you can simply press the down arrow key and select the text without finishing typing. So anyone who has access to your computer can see a drop down list with information you've typed.

Why you should clear AutoComplete and disable AutoComplete?
 Of course Form AutoComplete is useful as when you enter information in web forms or the search bar in your browser, this information is saved so that your browser can give suggestions when you enter information in the future. But to protect your privacy and prevent others from seeing what you entered in web pages, you should clear AutoComplete (form autocomplete).
If you don't want your browser save information you enter on web sites, you can disable AutoComplete

How AutoComplete can compromise your privacy
 While AutoComplete is really useful for some things, it can also seriously compromise your security and privacy, because anyone who has access to your computer can see what web sites you visited and what information you entered on web pages.
Also various malicous software can use AutoComplete data to steal your personal information such as your name, e-mail address, credit card information and/or retrieve web sites passwords stored as autocomplete data.
