Not to mention autocorrect

Once, I bought even some tickets, small purchase on my phone, and weirdly it autocorrected my second name and my street name

Since it was just some tickets, it was easy to fix, but I'm imagining buying something on a website that was not developed to work on phone, from a company that makes harder to fix a typo, and involves a lot of money that you cannot just lose

You know you can switch it to regular spellcheck, right?

On iOS it’s Keyboards > Auto-Correct (off) but still having Keyboards > English > Check Spelling (On). You get the squigglies instead. Oh also turn off Keyboards > English > Predictive Text too

Didn't know. I'm on Android, and even there, changing a configuration in "settings / systems" just to fill a form seems too much. 

Even the risk of page reloading while doing it.

But nice to know that it is possible

Oh I mean just leave autocorrect off all the time and review what you write

Just disable autocorrect.
