Avoid password being saved by browser and then AutoCompleted

Answered

Hi.

I am trying to avoid some password fields from being suggested by the browser to be saved and then remembering it later.
I have tried changing the TextBox names so that “password” wouldn’t be part of it, but it had no effect. I have a feeling that the InputType = “Password” is the culprit, but there is no way to avoid it if we set the PasswordChar to * (asterisk), for example.

Apparently, the new hack for that would be to set the AutoComplete to “new-password” (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Turning_off_form_autocompletion), not sure this would stop Chrome, for example, to ask to save it all the time. However, the only options we get is Default, On and Off.

Is there a way to address this scenario and get rid of Browsers asking for saving and remembering passwords in the application?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivan,

I’ll add the option to apply autocomplete=”new-password” as an enhancement for the next build. It does seem like each browser has different requirements and “tricks” for preventing password autocompletion. Your best bet to find a solution for this issue (beyond the enhancement) is to check browser documentation and Stack Overflow.

Anyways, we’ll add the enhancement and see if that fixes your issue first!

Best,
