I’m writing an App in AngularJS using PrimeNG component library. Sonar is reporting Web:S6840 on my p-password input elements, which wrap a regular HTML input field, including the autocomplete` attribute.

Here’s the rendered element in the browser dev tools:

And here’s the warning inside the IDE:

This seems to be the same issue as in this post (Sonarqube always show autocomplete warning Web:S6840 in Vuetify), just a different framework/component library

Hello @Clemens_Baudisch,

we have already a ticket to fix S6840 and be more permissive with custom elements. I added it for our next hardening.

Cheers,
Victor
