Is there a way to prevent autocomplete? Internet Explorer allows autocomplete="off" but Chrome doesn't.
My problem is that I have a web app, where to login the input is name="password" and in the settings you can show some private information that requires password, which then has the name="password". But since people save their login informations, the password is pre-provided. It's really a fault on the user side, but I want to mask it with an empty field if I can, but I don't want to change input names.
Chrome should still allow you to do an autocomplete on the entire form (if that is what you want)
<form action=".." method="..." autocomplete="off">
... rest of normal controls like
<input type="text" name="email">
</form>
The other solutions I have seen is hiding a password field on the page as people have reported that Chrome will only autocomplete the first password field it finds... Try turning off autocomplete on the entire form first.
I just checked. That's unfortunately not the case, on the entire form still same problem.
The second solution seems too unstable for me. A Javascript that empties the field might be the only solution?
Chromed auto complete is client side that has little to do with your code. As @Qlic link shows you have to trick chrome.
Thanks. It didn't work though. It works if I change to this:
<input type="password" name="password" style="display:none">
But I'm not sure if that makes it fail in some browsers.
A manual tests shows it works in:
So it seems like a solution for now. Thanks.
