Hi there,

We recently ran across the following issue:
We have a front-end form as part of a woocommerce user registration form. What we noticed was that certain fields were always pre-filled (regardless of browser being used) with specific values.
We dag into the issue and, after checking the database, found out that these fields had actually got saved as custom fields of the “My account page” (even though the are actually user fields).
We deleted them and the problem got resolved.

We were wondering:
1. Why did this happen?
2. How can we stop this from happening again?

Kind Regards
Kelly
