+# ember/template-no-input-placeholder
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+
+Disallows `placeholder` attribute on input elements.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as it has accessibility issues. Use proper labels instead.
+
+## Examples
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <input placeholder="Enter username" />
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <input type="text" placeholder="Username" />
+</template>
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <label>
+    Username
+    <input type="text" />
+  </label>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <input type="text" aria-label="Username" />
+</template>
+```
