I struggled with something very similar and found this question while I was searching for answers, here's how I fixed it.

My situation: I have an input field for searching, and somewhere else I had a username and password field. Chrome recently started putting the autocompleted username in the search field.

Apparently, Chrome ignores autocomplete="off" now, and goes by the string value to try to determine what type of data to autocomplete. So if you have a search box, you should put autocomplete="search" so Chrome won't put the username in there, for example.

When I first noticed a long time ago autocomplete="off" was being ignored for my search box, I switched to autocomplete="search" and that worked. Now, Chrome started putting the username in the search box again with the latest update.

The way to fix this, if your situation is similar, is to put the autocomplete field for all of your text inputs with a string describing what it is.

BEFORE:

<input id='search' type='text' autocomplete="search">

And somewhere else on the page...

<input id='login_username' type='text'>
<input id='login_password' type='password'>

AFTER

<input id='search' type='text' autocomplete="search">

And somewhere else on the page...

<input id='login_username' type='text' autocomplete="username">
<input id='login_password' type='password' autocomplete="password">

Additionally, putting the inputs in a form also affects the autocomplete, but I didn't have too much time to mess with that and I needed a quick fix to get my site working properly again. Hope this helps someone.
