I'm using firefox 26. I have saved my credentials to my development site. And then i have used auto complete off feature. Following is my sample code
<form id="loginform" autocomplete="off">
<input name="username" type="text" autocomplete="off">
<input name="pwd" type="password" autocomplete="off">
</form>
Its worked fine for previous versions. After update to firefox 26, its not working. when i type first letter of my username, its showing saved credentials in suggestion. How to disable this?
Even i selected the suggested credentials, its auto fill the username and password field. But its not allowing to access site, showing login errors like enter password.

If you don't want Firefox to remember what you've entered into form fields, you can turn off the auto form fill feature:
On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Preferences...
.
Select the Privacy panel.
Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history.
Remove the check mark from the box that says Remember search and form history.
Close the Preferences window .
Disabling form history also prevents Firefox from storing search history for the Search bar in the Navigation Toolbar.
Clearing form history
If you want Firefox to forget all of your previous form entries:
On the menu bar, click on the History menu, and select Clear Recent History….
In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything.
Click the arrow next to Details to display the list of items that can be cleared.
Make sure only Form & Search History is check marked.
Click Clear Now. The dialog box will disappear and your form history will be erased.
Prevent Firefox from storing form entries
In some browsers you may need to activate an autocomplete function for this to work, or deactivate by unchecking its relative checkbox. (Look under "Preferences" in the browser's menu. This feature is in the control of user. At least in the current time.

I recently added a location search field on my site which shows suggestions based on what you type, but on Microsoft edge, a menu pops up on clicking on the input field. How can I disable this menu from appearing on just this input field of my site?
Based on the image you provided, I think this should be caused by some default settings in Edge. If you want to turn off this prompt, just navigate to: edge://settings/personalinfo in Edge and disable this feature like this image below:
I had today the same problem. I had input field without label and empty placeholder. Setting placeholder"..." and making the placeholder transparent makes that edge does not anymore offer "type / ..."

I believe what you're looking for is:
spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" aria-autocomplete="none"
The aria-autocomplete seems to prevent that box from popping up and the spellcheck seems to also stop the spell checker one from displaying.
There are places where autocomplete and spellcheck would come in handy, but NOT in single-line fields like email, website, or an <input> where I have my own Bootstrap dropdown-menu/dropdown-item list that displays retrieved DB records via AJAX as the user types (in this case, the Edge popups were ovelaying my DropDown list).
Anyway, adding this code to the <input class="whatever" id="whatever" spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" aria-autocomplete="none" placeholder="whatever" value="whatever" > seems to solve the issue and you don't have to get all your users to change the browser attributes or mess with the placeholder. Hope this helps... :)

In the "Autofill" section, expand the area for which you wish to disable Autofill.
Toggle the setting OFF if it is on. The system will automatically save your settings.

Is it possible to force Chrome to remove the autocomplete background style for a text input once the record has been saved?
<input type="text" id="fltrName" class="form-control" ng-model="calEvtFilter.name" />
When a user types an entry that has previously been used then saves the record the autocomplete style remains. The only way I can remove the style at the moment is to reset the form then populate the angularJS model with the data again?
Hi you can remove the autofill settings from your Chrome Setting
Go to Chrome Settings -> Click on Show Advanced Setting
Uncheck Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click under Passwords and Forms
Close the chrome and open again
I have a really strange behaviour of the password input field. When the page is loaded, the first instance of the password input field is populated.
The second password input field, which I added for testing, is not automatically populated. If I change the first password input type from password to text, it is not automatically populated.
There is no JS that populates this field (that I can find).
The code for the new password input fields are:
<input class="form-control" name="User[pass]" type="password" value="" placeholder="New password" autocomplete="off" />
<input class="form-control" name="User[pass]" type="password" value="" placeholder="New password" autocomplete="off" />
The only solution I can think of now, is to add a dummy input field before the New password and hide it.
Has anyone experienced this?
Update
- It seems this problem is only in Firefox
- If I open a new "private browser window", the problem goes away. Most likely because this window do not save anything to the cache.
So if Firefox password caching is the problem, then
a) Why does it populate the password field? This usually only happens when you enter a username in the login form,
b) How can I prevent it?
It happened to me after I installed a password-manager: sometimes when there is a password field it auto-generates a 'secure' password for me. Try disabling all your browser extensions or use a different browser and see if that solves your problem.
This can happen if your browser is using a password manager.
Firefox comes with a password manager, so you don't have to have any extensions installed for this to be a problem.
To clear the passwords from Firefox:
Open the security tabs in Firefox options.
You can get to this by either clicking on the Options button and then clicking on the Security tab, or by typing the following into your browser:
about:preferences#security
Click on the "Saved Logins..." button to open the Saved Logins popup.
The Saved Logins popup should have the list of all the passwords currently saved in the Firefox password manager. At this point, you can choose to "Remove All" passwords, select a specific password to "Remove", or use the Search box to filter the results and "Remove All Shown".
To prevent Firefox from continuing to store passwords, you can uncheck the "Remember logins from sites" checkbox on the Security tab.
I am trying to build a simple login form in a chrome extension. In my popup.html, I have a few input fields that have their corresponding tabindex values set. The username field has the autofocus property set through HTML or $('#myelement').focus() (I've tried both methods).
For some reason, tabbing does not work on my form when I first click the button next to the omnibar to open the popup. The username field has focus, but pressing the tab key makes the cursor disappear. It only shows up again if I explicitly click one of the input fields and then tab over, but never when they popup first opens.
<input type="text" id="one" tabindex=1 autofocus />
<input type="text" id="two" tabindex=2 />
If I open popup.html in a web browser (and not the extension), I've noticed that the tabbing in my form works perfectly.
This is a regression, which has a bug filed here. Unfortunately it has been around for quite some time now, and there doesn't seem any progress on it.
There is no known scriptable workaround for this bug.
