Stop showing  autofill for password input feild in login form
Application Type
Reactive

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a login form for web application, and I'm facing an issue with the autofill feature for the password input field. 

To disable the autofill, I have already tried setting the autocomplete attribute to "off" for the username field and "new-password" for the password field. However, the autofill persists for the password input field.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to effectively disable the autofill feature for the password field in my login form. Is there any additional configuration or technique that needs to be implemented to overcome this issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,

I thought it is a browser functionality, not the application. This manages and saved passwords on a browser level, not the app level.

Here I found some Suggestions-

Also available is on the Outsystem Service Center because it is a browser-level setting -

Note that regardless of the technical implementation, it's not really smart to do this, for two reasons:

  1. Users will be pissed that they can't use their browser's auto fill and;
  2. Users are forced to memorize their passwords, which means they'll choose a simple one, instead of a difficult one like the auto-generated passwords that browsers offer.
