 * Hi support,
 * Thanks for a good plugin!
 * I only have one small but annoying issue: Every time I hover over the email input
   field a browser tooltip shows.
 * This doesn’t happen with any other of my forms (I use 3 other form and subscription
   plugins).
 * Why does it happen with the Optinforms plugin and is there a way to hide/disable
   it?
 * I don’t wanna use scripts etc. and you can’t remove it with css.

 * Hi [@mindflow101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindflow101/)
 * The “please fill out this field” tooltip?
 * Since the inputs are required (can’t be left blank), the browser shows that tooltip
   by default, it’s not part of the plugin itself.
 * The only approach would be to remove the “required” attribute on the inputs. 
   JavaScript code would be the easiest approach for that, are you sure you don’t
   want that?

 * Hi WPKube,
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * I was curious as to why the browser tooltip shows up with your plugin and not
   any other form plugin I use for subscription purposes.
 * And yes, I absolutely don’t want that unsolicited browser tooltip! The form clearly
   indicates it’s a required field.
 * Using javaScript or other coding is overkill.
 * However, I unfortunately have to drop using your plugin due to severe vulnerability
   warnings regarding OptinForms issued by the Wordfence research team.
 * This warning is now several month old. Please check it out and fix the mentioned
   issues to ensure safe use of your otherwise good and simple plugin.
