Trigger Validation
Many forms validate inputs on blur. After filling a field, blur it to trigger validation before continuing to the next field.

Autocomplete dropdowns and menus often close when the input loses focus. Use Blur to close them after making a selection.

Some apps auto-save when you blur a field. Blur after filling to ensure the data is saved before proceeding.
