Chrome doesn't want to save the Password for the JSF Loginform

Question

Hi guys i already looked up at that topic JSF Chrome Save Password on Login form which is very similar to my problem. But the solution doesn't work in my case because I don't use Primefaces. The form looks as following:

<h:form id="loginform" class="form-signin " >

  <h1 class="form-signin-heading  "> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"/> Login Form</h1>
  <h:inputText id="username" value="#{loginHandler.inputUsername}" 
               styleClass="form-control" pt:placeholder="Username" 
               required="true" requiredMessage="Please type in your Username" />
  <h:message style="color: red" for="username"/>
  <br></br>
  <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{loginHandler.inputPassword}" class="form-control" 
                 pt:placeholder="Password" required="true" pt:type="password"
                 requiredMessage="Please type in your password" />
  <h:message style="color: red" for="password"/>
  <br/>
  <h:commandButton id="loginbutton" action="#{loginHandler.login()}"
                   value="Login" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block"  />
  <h:message id="loginerror" style="color: red" for="loginbutton"/>

</h:form>

I also used bootstrap but that shouldn't influence the matter right now.
I want that Google saves the Username and password or at least enables it. Because each time i login it doesn't show the possibility of saving the password.
Does anyone have an idea ? Thanks !!

Keep in mind that this just renders HTML. Whether or not you use PrimeFaces is mostly inconsequential to this problem. Chrome doesn't know or care which framework you're using. — DavidS, Apr 14 '15 at 19:42

I'm using JSF Mojarra 2.1.6 on Glassfish 3.1.2.2, and the following works for me on Google Chrome:

<h:form id="login" >
    <h:inputText id="username"/>
    <h:inputSecret id="password"/>
    <h:commandButton id="loginbutton" action="Admin" />
    <!--  Where "Admin" is just any other page -->
    <h:messages/>
</h:form>

Make "Offer to save web passwords" is enabled Chrome's settings.
Make sure the site isn't an exception in the "Never saved" list.
Make sure your action method redirects to a new page, not the same page.
Test Firefox for good measure.

Ah okay i got a success site in between now. It works, thank you very much ! — Zailux, Apr 15 '15 at 22:03

My first thought is that this problem is specific to your Chrome settings. But in the code you posted, you didn't follow BalusC's advice regarding turning ajax="false".

This shouldn't matter. He's using `h:commandButton`, so AJAX is disabled by default. – DavidS Apr 14 '15 at 19:50

The solution balus C showed was for p:commandButton which is for PRIMEfaces i guess :) – Zailux Apr 15 '15 at 22:05
