Turn off auto complete in password fields

[enricodias4654]

Hello.

I suggest disabling auto complete on password input fields. I've been having some complaints from users regarding this. Their files are uploaded with password and it may be due to the browser's auto complete feature. I didn't find any other code in the script that may create passwords in files.

Have had this happen to users on my site as well

I had to remove the password option from the upload options. Even with autocomplete="off" some browsers write on it.

if you change the field from password to text it wont happen, however the downside is the password is visible while the user types it

It can happen even with normal text fields. Some browsers have auto complete in any type of field.

Have you tried to add autocomplete="off" to input form? I will suggest to use autocapitalize="off" too.

Doesn't work either. I believe the right name of this feature is auto fill (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en)
