Hi
Does anyone know if it’s possible to stop Safari (and other browsers) from prompting possible previous or new passwords?
Thanks for any help!
you can ask for 2 passwords, most of browsers won’t remember 2 simultaneously
you can make some java keypad to enter the code, so impossible to remember for the borwser
you can also use autocomplete=off

Thanks for your reply Jean-Yves.
autocomplete=off doesn’t seem to stop it and I think the above is already effectively asking for two password (a password and a pin) so that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick - the only option left from yours is a java keyboard (which is obviously a little more work than if autocomplete=off had worked!)
Thanks again for responding
ask one password on first screen, and second on another screen.
should disturb browsers a little.
Thanks Jean-Yves! I’ll try that 
More and more this functionality is built-in and unavoidable. If the field is marked as a password field then it’ll show this.
It could be avoided using javascript (not java) but probably the easiest way is to add CSS to hide “hints” from the OS:
input::-webkit-textfield-decoration-container {
display: none; /* this hides all decorations for text fields */
}
You can targer individual decorations, if you prefer:
input::-webkit-caps-lock-indicator {
display: none; /* caps-lock indicator */
}
-webkit-credentials-auto-fill-button {
display: none; /* key icon */
}
input::
And other browsers have different ones:
input::-ms-clear {
display: none; /* "X" that clears text fields */
}
input::-ms-reveal {
display: none; /* eye icon that shows the password */
}
There are more decorations that can be targeted in the same way:
-webkit-inner-spin-button ← Small spinner in Safari
-webkit-outer-spin-button ← Larger spinner in Safari
-moz-placeholder ← Placeholder text in Mozilla
-ms-input-placeholder ← Placeholder text in IE
This an outdated list:
Safari has more pseudo-elements that any other browser, I think:
Thanks very much Eduardo Gutierrez! I’ll try this out.
Thanks again for responding
No idea if this sort of approach might work, I’m afraid I don’t have time to test it…
You might try setting it readonly until the form is shown - then clear it and make it writeable - sort of depends of when the browser populates it, I guess.
If readonly does not work, somethign similar using visibility might work.
Interesting idea Chris. Ill give it a try. I suspect a timer may need to be employed as well.
No luck Chris - With the try anyway and thanks for the feedback,
Eduardo, that was really useful info, thanks!. It seems to be working so far (for Safari anyway!) - At least it doesn’t seem to think the page is looking for a new password any more, which was the most frustrating part.
Thanks again
