What are your thoughts about this issue in regards to an e-commerce environment?
Do you think it is wise to turn autocomplete off on all sensitive input fields such as passwords (for log-in areas), or will this just inconvenience the client?

Unless it is a highly-secure site, I would tend to leave autocomplete on. If it is for a password field, the browser will prompt the user if they want to save the information, at which point the user can make their own decision.
An eCommerce application I worked on several years ago underwent a security audit and one of their recommendations was to disable autocomplete for sensitive fields.
It wasn't a strict requirement, but it probably will be at some point, given how eCommerce standards are these days..
I concur. By habit, I leave autocomplete on. However, there was a project for the air force I was working on that had a requirement to disble autocomplete. Really depends on your requirements.
