Chrome's autofill hiding text input's background image

Question

After successfuly disabling the autofill's yellowish background-color, I stumbled upon another feature.

Each of my input elements have a background image, and every time I focus on a text input, the browser suggests values I used before in a drop down list.

After I pick a value, the autofill covers my entire background and hides the image.

Here's my html and css (elaborated in JSfiddle):

<section class="formContainer">
    <img class="sesameLogo" src="~/Content/Images/Site/sesamelogo.png" />
    <form id="signUpForm" class="pageForm">
        <input type="text" name="decoy" class="decoy"/>
        <input type="password" name="decoy" class="decoy" />
        <input type="text" placeholder="Full Name" name="FullName" id="fullName" />
        <input type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email" id="email" />
        <input type="password" placeholder="Password" name="password" id="password" />
        <input type="password" placeholder="Confirm Password" name="confirmPassword" id="secPassword" />
        <section id="actionBtnsCont">
            <button id="btnSignUp" class="mainBtn" type="button">Sign Up</button>
            <label class="genContextLbl">or</label>
            <button id="btnSignIn" class="genBtn" type="button">Sign In</button>
        </section>
    </form>
</section>

Answer 1

What you need is:

move background image from <input> element

HTML

<div class="email-wrapper">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email" id="email" />
</div>

CSS

.email-wrapper {
  display: inline-block;
  background: url(https://www.apec-econ.ca/system/style/images/icon-small-person.png) no-repeat scroll 4px 9px;
}

and postpone changing of background-color when autofill

CSS

input:-webkit-autofill {
  transition: background-color 5000s ease-in-out 0s;
}
