I have made a form in HTML everything must work very well but there is sth very strange about it. when I check the form on a browser I see my inputs have default values. the values I haven't give them.
"creator" for text input and ***** for password input. I don't know why it's happening I just noticed it happens when I set my password type input equal to 'password' if I change it to text everything will be fine.
this is my form
<form class="form-group">
<input type='text' class='form-control' id='user_email' placeholder="username..." Required /><br>
<input type='password' class='form-control' id='user_PassEnter' placeholder="password..." Required /><br>
</form>
I also should mention the values change when I use other browsers. for example on Chrome the text input value became ajax.
You can solve this by either:
Disabling autocomplete using <form class = "form-group" autocomplete="off">
2.Remove data from your auto-fill in the settings of your browser.
Each browser has their own way of doing it, which you can find by a simple internet search.

I have a few input fields on my website. There are few passwords saved for that website(Chrome Login Saved passwords). But the problem i am facing is that the email is appearing on the input field which is not for email i.e somewhere else on that same website. This is the input field code where i don't want chrome to autofill/autocomplete as it is not required here. I have tried autocomplete =off/false/new-password nothing worked.
<input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics" autocomplete="off">
When you click on the field above it shows the saved passwords for that website which is not required on this field.
I found the solution. The browser ignores autocomplete="off" unless it is in a form. Therefore, the code below removed the autofill suggestions.
<form autocomplete="off"><input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics"></form>
Google chrome ignores autocomplete="off" so you can try to make another input field above it to fool the browser
<input type="text" style="visibilty:hidden">
<input type="text" ng-model="week_sco_topic" placeholder="Week SCO Topics" autocomplete="off">

By suggestions, I mean the drop down menu appear when you start typing, and it's suggestions are based on what you've typed before:
For example, when I type 'a' in title field, it will give me a ton of suggestions which is pretty annoying.
How can this be turned off?
What you want is to disable HTML autocomplete Attribute.
Setting autocomplete="off" here has two effects:
It stops the browser from saving field data for later autocompletion
on similar forms though heuristics that vary by browser. It stops the
browser from caching form data in session history. When form data is
cached in session history, the information filled in by the user will
be visible after the user has submitted the form and clicked on the
Back button to go back to the original form page.

Here's an example how to do it.
<form action="#" autocomplete="on">
First name:<input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
E-mail: <input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="off"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
If it's on React framework then use as follows:
<input
id={field.name}
className="form-control"
type="text"
placeholder={field.name}
autoComplete="off"
{...fields}/>

Update
Here's an update to fix some browsers skipping "autocomplete=off" flag.
<form action="#" autocomplete="off">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br> E-mail:
<input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
On Chrome, the only method we could identify which prevented all form fills was to use autocomplete="new-password". Apply this on any input which shouldn't have autocomplete, and it'll be enforced (even if the field has nothing to do with passwords, e.g. SomeStateId filling with state form values). See this link on the Chromium bugs discussion for more detail.
Note that this only consistently works on Chromium-based browsers and Safari - Firefox doesn't have special handlers for this new-password (see this discussion for some detail).
Update: Firefox is coming aboard! Nightly v68.0a1 and Beta v67.0b5 (3/27/2019) feature support for the new-password autocomplete attribute, stable releases should be coming on 5/14/2019 per the roadmap.
Update in 2022: For input fields with a type of password, some browsers are now offering to generate secure passwords if you've specified autocomplete="new-password". There's currently no workaround if you want to suppress that behavior, but I'll update if one becomes available.
use autocomplete="off" attribute
Quote:IMPORTANT
Put the attribute on the <input> element,
NOT on the <form> element
Adding the two following attributes turn off all the field suggestions (tested on Chrome v85, Firefox v80 and Edge v44):
<input type="search" autocomplete="off">
I know it's been a while but if someone is looking for the answer this might help. I have used autocomplete="new-password" for the password field. and it solved my problem. Here is the MDN documentation.
This solution worked for me: Add readonly attribute.
Here's an update to fix some browsers skipping the
"autocomplete=off" flag.
<input type="text" name="lname" autocomplete="off" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');">
autocomplete = "new-password" does not work for me.
I built a React Form.
Google Chrome will autocomplete the form input based on the name attribute.
<input
className="scp-remark"
type="text"
name="remark"
id='remark'
value={this.state.remark}
placeholder="Remark"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
It will base on the "name" attribute to decide whether to autofill your form. In this example, name: "remark". So Chrome will autofill based on all my previous "remark" inputs.
<input
className="scp-remark"
type="text"
name={uuid()} //disable Chrome autofill
id='remark'
value={this.state.remark}
placeholder="Remark"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
So, to hack this, I give name a random value using uuid() library.
import uuid from 'react-uuid';
Now, the autocomplete dropdown list will not happen.
I use the id attribute to identify the form input instead of name in the handleChange event handler
handleChange = (event) => {
const {id, value} = event.target;
this.setState({
[id]: value,
})
}
And it works for me.
I had similar issue but I eventually end up doing
<input id="inp1" autocomplete="off" maxlength="1" />
i.e.,
autocomplete = 'off' and suggestions will be disappeared.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off"> is in fact the right answer, though for me it wasn't immediately clear.
According to MDN:
If a browser keeps on making suggestions even after setting
autocomplete to off, then you have to change the name attribute of the
input element.
The attribute does prevent the future saving of data but it does not necessarily clear existing saved data. Thus, if suggestions are still being made even after setting the attribute to "off", either:
rename the input
clear existing data entries
Additionally, if you are working in a React context the attribute naturally becomes autoComplete.
Cheers!
I ended up changing the input field to
<textarea style="resize:none;"></textarea>
You'll never get autocomplete for textareas.
If you are using ReactJS. Then make this as autoComplete="off"
<input type="text" autoComplete="off" />

We are no longer dependent on hacks for this. You can set autocomplete to new-password and it will work as intended.
<input type="password" name="pwd" autocomplete="new-password">
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attr-autocomplete
Are you explicitly setting the values as blank? For example:
<input type="text" name="textfield" value="">
That should stop browsers putting data in where it shouldn't. Alternatively, you can add the autocomplete attribute to the form tag:
<form autocomplete="off" ...></form>
Solution 1:
Putting 2 lines of code under under <form ..> tag does the trick.
<form id="form1" runat="server" >
<input style="display:none" type="text" name="fakeusernameremembered"/>
<input style="display:none" type="password" name="fakepasswordremembered"/>

Solution 2: It removes "name" and "id" attributes from elements and assigns them back after 1ms. Put this in document get ready.
$('form[autocomplete="off"] input, input[autocomplete="off"]').each(function () {
var input = this;
var name = $(input).attr('name');
var id = $(input).attr('id');
$(input).removeAttr('name');
$(input).removeAttr('id');
setTimeout(function () {
$(input).attr('name', name);
$(input).attr('id', id);
}, 1);
});
Solution 3: Tested in Chrome 60.0.3112.101
<input type="password" name="pwd" autocomplete="new-password">
This issue still exists as of Version 55.0.2883.87 m. (on Windows 10)
Solutions like setting the autocomplete attribute on a form
or adding fake input fields and removing the name attribute before submit do not work anymore, since Chrome ignores or instantly auto-completes them on removal.
The only way to get it currently to work as intended is to set the autocomplete attribute to "new-password"
<input type="text" name="text" autocomplete="new-password">
even on non password type inputs.
The latest version of Chrome (46.0.2490.86) appears to have changed behaviour again. This time, AutoFill has nothing to do with autocomplete or readonly or other workarounds suggested here (and on these bug reports https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=468153, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=587466)
Rather, AutoFill now looks at the label next to the input box and generates an AutoFill based on that (as well as the id and name). A big clue is how AutoFill can actually fill multiple fields at once (e.g. Street, Suburb and State). It appears to be using several techniques (label, name, id) to discern the spatial relationship between fields.
So a workaround is to insert junk text into the label inside a hidden span...
S<span style="display:none">_</span>uburb:
...and also obfuscate/remove the id and name. This was the only thing that prevented Suburb AutoFill for me.
Unfortunately autocomplete="off" didn't work for me (anymore). So here is my solution:
First read and then remove "name" and "id" attributes from elements. Then, after 1ms, set these attributes back again with values read before. For me it works :)
<form autocomplete="off"><br />
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" /><br />
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" /><br />
</form>
<pre>
$('form[autocomplete="off"] input, input[autocomplete="off"]').each(function(){
var input = this;
var name = $(input).attr('name');
var id = $(input).attr('id');
$(input).removeAttr('name');
$(input).removeAttr('id');
setTimeout(function(){
$(input).attr('name', name);
$(input).attr('id', id);
}, 1);
});
</pre>
By setting autocomplete="new-password" , it works.
Before testing, you clear browsing data first
Almost jumped out the window trying to solve this... seems Google now ignores Autocomplete ON and OFF. I had used on older fix (such as fake hidden password fields - which also no longer worked). Based on the living standard spec - you need to use an auto-fill tokens instead. You must use them in the appropriate use-case context. Hope this is helpful.
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#autofilling-form-controls:-the-autocomplete-attribute
Chrome ignores both autocomplete="anything" and hidden fields. A HTML/CSS workaround would be using an absolute positioned password field before the real one:
<input type="text" name="username" required>
<input style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute; left:-99999px" type="password" name="fakepasswordfieldtoturnoffautocomplete">
<input type="password" name="password" required>
EDIT:
As referred in multiple other answers in other duplicate questions, the most elegant working solution so far is this:
<input type="password" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"/>
Try hidden password element
<form>
<input type="text" name="fakeusername" class="fake-autofill-fields"/>
<input type="password" name="fakepassword" class="fake-autofill-fields"/>
...
...
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".fake-autofill-fields").show();
window.setTimeout(function () {
$(".fake-autofill-fields").hide();
}, 1);
});
</script>
Enter a value of ' ' (a blank space) for the username field and Chrome doesn't autopopulate username or password.
<input type = 'text' value = ' ' name = 'username' />
If you're ever populating the username with a user-entered value, code to enter a ' ' if there's no user-entered value.
Try this:
<div id="form_container">
<input type="text" name="username" autocomplete="off">
<input type="password" name="pwd" autocomplete="off">
<input tytep="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Log In">
</div>`
The jquery code:
jQuery("#login").click(function(){
jQuery("#form_container").wrap('<form method="post"></form>');
jQuery("form").submit();
});
If you don't wrap your input fields into a form, then the chrome's autofill won't come up.
When you click on the submit button, just frap the fields around the form and fire a submit() on the form.
I had a similar problem. After all of the attempts failed. I tried this hack of setting
type = "search"
instead of text. Even though its not a pretty hack. It does not cause any issues in majority of cases. type search is no different than text as of now.
This works:
<form autocomplete="off" ...></form>
Tested on Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
I have a basic text input for a login form and I'd like the browser to remember email addresses that the user has entered, but it's not working. I don't think I should need to add a full auto-complete system to get this to work since it's something the browser should be doing. I don't see anything special on sites I've visited where this works.
If I search for this problem all the answers are about disabling autocomplete.
Here's my login form:
<form id="login-form">
<fieldset>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email" required="" >
<input id="password" type="password" placeholder="Pick a good password" required="" minlength="6">
<button class="login">Register</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
So the problem here seems to be that I didn't have a "name" attribute on my input. It also seems that I need to have specific values for the name. "email" works and "login" works, but "user_email" and "foo" don't work.
Surprisingly this started working as soon as I added 'name="email"' to the input, so it seems that Chrome was saving the values, but wasn't showing them.
This simple input is all you need for Chrome to do email autocomplete:
<input name="email">
I do not believe that you can force a user's browser to autocomplete.
HTML5 has an autocomplete form attribute.
Here is the W3C spec for autocomplete attribute.
However, even if you set this attribute to "on", the autocomplete of HTML forms is going to depend on the client's browser settings and configuration.
Although you can, as you said, disable autocomplete, there is not a way you can force the user's browser to autocomplete a form if they configure their browser not to remember form history.
For example, here is how to disable autocomplete for Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/How_to_Turn_Off_Form_Autocompletion
I have never seen this, have no idea what is going on:
<form action="/cgi-bin/Lib.exe" method=POST name="slider" ID="Form2">
<input type="text" name="user" value="" ID="Text1">
<input type="text" name="end" value="" ID="Text2">
</form>
function setval()
{
alert(s.getValue());
alert(s2.getValue());
document.slider.user.value = s.getValue();//set value of hidden text box to value of slider
document.slider.end.value = s2.getValue();//set value of hidden text box to value of slider
document.slider.submit();
}
When submitting form from setval(), when I change the name of the first input box from "user" to anything else, my cgi application won't except it and I get an error? I can change the name of the secons input box to anyting and it doesn't seem to have any problem? Confused. Thanks!
Seems more like it's a problem with the cgi than it is with the HTML/Javascript, to me. It probably makes the assumption that a value for "user" will always be sent. Not much else I can tell you without seeing the form-processing code.
Your CGI must be expecting an element called 'user'. You would need to check the source.
