Firefox Password Field is not empty - html

I'm new here on stackoverflow.
I'm writing a Form to add a Album to a gallery, but now I discovered a problem in Firefox which I've never had. The password field is already set. I never filled out the form.
Does somebody knows, why Firefox fills text in?

If it is a saved password, you will be able to find it in the security and password settings (see link for more information). If you've saved a password on a different portion of the site (say you have a form on www.site.com/login.html and www.site.com/admin.html for example), it could be pulling it from there.

Set acceptable domains for generated passwords

Since some time ago, browsers will allow users to generate a secure password for the application, they are using.
This seems like a nice feature, but can have unwanted side effects, like the users cannot know his password, if prompted on another domain.
Is there a way to control, for which pages the generated password might be suitable?
Is there a way to tell the browser, that he's seeing a password reset or change for a specific domain?
Essentially, I'd like to allow the browser to autofill at login.contoso.com, when I originally set the password at account.contoso.com.
AFAIK in Edge/Chrome, if you want to autofill the password for a specific domain, you can "Add password" in password manager.
Edge: Settings --> Passwords --> Add password
Chrome: Settings --> Autofill --> Add
Also, if you have saved password in a subdomain like account.contoso.com, you will have an "autofill" dropdown menu (click the box to call) in another subdomain like login.contoso.com. Though it is not the exact "autofill".

Setting a From account in an HTML link for Outlook 2016

I need to create an email link as part of an HTML page that will open an Outlook email. It's working up to a point.
When I click it, it works and shows a drop down with my email or the group email that I use. One of my users also has multiple addresses and it's giving her an error. Here is what is working for me and a few other users:
Generate Email
When she clicks the link above, she is getting a blue screen from Outlook that says "Choose which account to send the email from" with a cancel button. Now, I'm guessing that the issue is her Outlook settings, but is there something I can do to work around them?
Any ideas how to fix that? I tried adding a from= in the tag, but that's not working.
Her other option is to contact IT of course, but there may be other users who have this same issue, so I'd like to fix it programmatically if possible. And, it's corporate email, so some configurations can't be changed by the user but IT can do it, or just can't be changed at all.
Thanks!

How to prevent Suspicious Link message in GMail?

We are sending HTML emails from Microsoft365 to our clients and these emails contain a hyperlink to an item in a Sharepoint list in one of our Sharepoint sites.
I have only tested this in GMail, not sure whether the issue is only isolated here or on other email clients as well. When clicking the link in GMail, the below "Suspicious Link" popup message appears. Clicking 'Proceed' works, and brings the client to wherever he needs to be.
But we would like to avoid this popup message altogether.
The URL is in this format:
https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/Lists/listname/EditForm.aspx?ID=123
I have tried 2 variants, and both are having the same issue:
{theURLagain}
and
Link to our Sharepoint
Anyone has an idea how we need to write the HTML to prevent this? Or is it not related to how the HTML is written?
Thanks!
The following thread is discussing the same question, I hope this may help

Answer extracted from the thread:
This solved the problem for me:
Go to postmaster.google.com.
On the bottom-right, click the + button.
In the box that pops up, enter your authentication domain.
Next, prove that you own the domain by adding a DNS TXT or a DNS CNAME record.
After I completed that, I stopped getting that 'untrusted' message within a few minutes.

DokuWiki clicking on link displays FORBIDDEN page

I have searched the Forums and elsewhere for an answer... I'll keep researching but hoping that someone has run into this before...
I am using the latest download version of the “Closed” DokuWiki. I am building a Knowledgebase of forms and processes. I created a Start page and Menu page for all users to view, anything beyond that requires a login.
As admin, I can see all images and have access to all links. Click the link, the forms displays perfectly. (So no issue with capital letters or spaces).
However, when I login as a User, I can access all of the pages and see all of the text, but when I click on a link, the same Form as admin, instead of the form displaying in a new page, a new page is displayed with the word “Forbidden”.
So, I'm fairly sure it's an ACL issue. For example, I have the page “Office Administration” available to all Users. Do I need to somehow create a namespace or new page for all of the links, then give permission again? I was hoping that by making the page accessible to all users, this would also allow them the click on all of the links on that page as well??
How do I make the links accessible to all users? Image links are displayed to admin only. Not even registered users can view the images... text is fine... images show as broken links.
Appreciate any help you can offer! I have only been using DokuWiki for a couple of weeks but I am very happy with the results for far!
It was definitely an ACL (Access Control List) issue... so many settings...
I changed the Root* access to Upload and set the Start and Menu pages to Read only. From here on out it's setting permissions per user. whoo-hoo!

What might be adding parameters to the URL?

I have a login form with username and password parameters. During development while refreshing the browser, on a few occasions I have seen my form parameters get put in the URL. This catches my attention since it's a username and password.
For example: http://localhost:8080/ui/?username=xxxxx&password=xxxxx#/login?redirectedFrom=%2Fsomewhere
However, I don't recall exactly what I did prior to this, and I am unable to reproduce it. I've seen it 3 times over a period of weeks.
Any ideas what might be causing the form parameters to be put in the URL?
I'm not sure if any of this is relevant, but I'm using angular with ui-router. The parameters are also parameters to POST, but I don't recall whether I submitted them. I think (although not sure) each time this has happened it was shortly after my login times out and I am redirected to the login page, which adds a ?redirectedFrom parameter. I'm using Chrome and it remembers and fills in the username/password inputs. Chrome developer tools is open. It might be after restarting the server. A browser refresh was done.
I believe you submitted the form again.
In login form always use POST action in your form tag, like this:
<form action="POST">
Don't press F5 to refresh your page after you submit the form. Click in your URL and enter again in your form page.
