I came across this issue a few days ago. Do you anyone knew how to disable browser autocomplete on the Input element in React.js??
I already tried :
autoComplete="off"
autocomplete="new-password"
Both are not working.
Thank you for your answer.
Solution from https://www.codementor.io/#leonardofaria/disabling-autofill-in-chrome-zec47xcui
What solved the issue for me is setting the form fields to read only and then removing the attribute once the user focus them.
<input readonly="readonly" onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" type="text" value="test">
On your input element delete the type attribute and all will be well. Also you don't need the autocomplete.

Autocomplete has been causing me trouble for quite some time. It overlays buttons and search results which causes users to click it instead of a link on the webpage.
I have been searching the internet for solutions to this for literally years. None of them are both practical and work consistently. I have tried all the alternatives to "off" listed throughout the relevant Google searches.
Below I have uploaded a GIF. The GIF shows me triggering autocomplete on an input which has autocomplete set to off.
I then remove the name attribute of a separate input within the form and suddenly autocomplete switches off.
I also demonstrate that having the keyword "Company" in the placeholder seems to override autocomplete=off. However, this does not seem to override autocomplete=off in all situations.
In the below example I used a datepicker, but I can also reproduced the problem with simple text inputs.
Is there a reason behind this strange behavior?
One solution is to use type="search", however, this may not be the desired approach for all developers.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried this ?
<input name="unm" id="unm" type="text" autocomplete="false" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" />
Try using a form method.
<form method="post" action="">
<div>
<label for="cc">Please work:</label>
<input type="text" id="cc" name="cc" placeholder="Enter a company here" autocomplete="off">
</div>
On HTML inputs in Chrome, how can the autofill be disabled for individual fields?
See the image below to see the issue. I'm using the Date/Time dropdown for bootstrap (but this can be for any plugin)
Chrome seems to cache the previously entered input when the form is submitted. So when the user comes back to the page again, this creates a UX issue.
What I've tried so far,
<input type="text" class="form-control js-datetime-picker" autocomplete="new-field">
<input type="text" class="form-control js-datetime-picker" autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" class="form-control js-datetime-picker" autocomplete="false">
How can the auto-suggestions be disabled for a single field (not the whole form)?
UPDATE:
Since posting, I've found out this is a bug (branded as a feature) on Chrome, and the discussion is ongoing. If anyone has a solution, without using additional hidden fields or Javascript, please share.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=587466
On the form parent of the input elements (add one if there isnt one already) add this autocomplete='off' and then on the inputs add autocomplete='false'.
And to answer your question, 'can individual fields be disabled without the whole form' Yes. But you would need to add another form onto the child element.
Cheers.
You can deactivate the autocomplete with autocomplete="new-password"
autocomplete="off" or autocomplete="false" is not working anymore
autocomplete="off" is the right solution. In your case I think there is some problem with Chrome browser. Update chrome or reinstall. That might solve your problem.
I have built a textbox dropdown AngularJS component which works great in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.
A feature of this component is that you type in a string, and then can use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through suggestions.
In Microsoft Edge, as soon as you hit the down arrow, the following text is added to the input box:
briefly explain your changes (corrected spelling, fixed grammar, improved formatting)
Is there anything I can do client side to stop this from happening?
<form>
<input type="text" />
</form>
To demonstrate this, run the above snipper, type something into the textbox and hit the down arrow twice on Edge. I want this to not happen, as it is breaking my autocomplete!
Thanks
If I understand correctly, you are having an issue with the autocomplete feature. Simple add "autocomplete='off'" to your input and that should disable the feature.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
Unfortunately, none of the above suggestions worked for me in latest Edge. However, this solution does:
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" list="autocompleteOff"
id="fieldId" name="fieldname" placeholder="Placeholder here" />
This forces Edge to find a data lookup list called autocompleteOff which doesn't exist. Works a treat for me.
Added advantage is that it's pure HTML, no CSS or JS required.
2021 update:
Another solution which works very well for me is to add the readonly attribute to the field and then remove the tag using JQuery after a short delay of a few ms. The readonly attributes causes Edge (and others) to ignore the field.
For anyone experiencing autofill ignoring the autocomplete="off" on Edge 105+, you can use aria-autocomplete="none" alongside, which will prevent autofill from showing up (Tested in macOS 12.5 but should work in other platforms)
From Mozilla:
You can set the autocomplete on the actual form tag <form autocomplete='off' ... >...</form> which will work for the entire form, or on individual <input type='text' /> tags.
In my experience on IE 11 and Edge putting it on the form works but individual tags does not work. I tried testing on Chrome but the fields were already not autocompleting.
Please read the full Article for more detailed information.
NOTE
Most browsers disregard this for login fields.
if you want to remove autocomplete at the input in chrome when you use autocomplete="off" also you must remove id, if you don't remove id on your input, autocomplete will not work!
simple example:
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" list="autocompleteOff"
name="fieldname" placeholder="Placeholder here" />
you can handle your input with name ;) , that work for me fine.
<input type="text" autocomplete="new-password" />
If you are defining a user management page where a user can specify a new password for another person, and therefore you want to prevent autofilling of password fields, you can use autocomplete="new-password"
MDN reference
It works also for non-password fields.
if you need it app/site-wide you can use jquery:
$('input').attr('autocomplete','off');
Or if you're like me and using Angular+ui-router you might try the following:
In your index.html add the following script:
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout(function() {
$('input').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
}, 2000);
</script>
Then to cover state changes, add the following to your root controller:
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function() {
$timeout(function () {
$('input').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
}, 2000);
});
The timeouts are for the html to render before applying the jquery.
If you find a better solution please let me know.
This worked for Edge & Chrome (not a login form tho, not sure if that makes a difference)
autocomplete="somerandomstring"

Just autocomplete="off" list="autocompleteOff" in your input and work done !
autocomplete="off" doesn't work since yesterday (edge 105.0.1343.25).
Looks like a bug to me. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.
in edge worked for me
`autocomplete="false" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" /
`according to this https://stackoverflow.com/a/30344707/14913109
When I am trying to change password in Chrome, there is always a dropdown list with "Use password for:" options. Is it possible to remove it? I have tried autocomplete="off" and autocomplete="false" but without success.
According to the spec, if you expect a new password to be filled in (which is why you would not expect auto-completion for example), you should rather specify autocomplete="new-password" for the input field.
This instruction is recognized by chrome.
They reported this as a bug in the Chromium project, but seems Google never actually looked at it or fixed it.
A workaround would be to change the name of the field.
You can also add invisible input fields, a demo could be found here.
I had the same problem it seems difficult to solve I found a solution
To solve the problem,
the input in initialization must be equal to type="text" and then change to type="password" with the first focus or insert input
function changeTypeInput(inputElement){
inputElement.type="password"
}
<input type="text"
id="anyUniqueId"
onfocus="changeTypeInput(this)"
oninput="changeTypeInput(this)"
/>
This question already has answers here:
Disable spell-checking on HTML textfields
(7 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Is there a way for a web developer to turn off Chrome/Safari/WebKit's spellchecking on particular input or textarea elements? I mean either by special tag attribute or a proprietary CSS instruction.
There is a CSS instruction for turning off outlining of inputs so I thought that might also exist. I know how a user can do it.
Or, as a user, can I disable it for some particular domain?
Yes, there is the HTML5 spellcheck attribute.
<textarea spellcheck="false"> or <input type="text" spellcheck="false">
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/editing.html#spelling-and-grammar-checking
Update: This is now supported in the latest versions of all browsers.
This works in Safari 7.1 and should work also in others:
<input autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off"
spellcheck="false"/>
Only spellcheck="false" didn't work.
for all elements of a form it is possible and so:
<form spellcheck="false" .. />
In React, you gotta use spellCheck instead.
<input spellCheck={false} type="text"/>
Regarding outlining of input tags: don't do it, it's a visual cue for users.
But if you must:
#your-input{outline:none;}
