I have a management area where the admins can create new users for the site.
The "New User" form currently loads the admin's login when the admin saves their login to their browser. I already have autocomplete turned off on the fields in the "New User" form.
Is there a way to also not load the admin's saved email and password without changing the field names in the form?

EDIT

I guess this is not clear, so I will explain more.

On my input fields for the email address and password, I have the input field attribute autocomplete set to off.

However, the browser will still load the logged-in user's saved email and password in to the fields. This is the part I need to stop from happening.

  • are you referring to the browser's autocomplete or the form's autocomplete? I believe the two are different. – Wold Apr 22 '16 at 17:03
  • @Wold Yes, they are 2 different things. I have the form's autocomplete turned off. Now I need to turn off the browser's ability to auto-populate the username/password to the form. – James Apr 22 '16 at 17:21
  • Referring to `
    `?

  • @AniMenon It depends on what you mean. Yes, if you mean is that what I currently have (except I have it on individual form fields). But I also want to stop the browser from loading the saved login for the website. – James Apr 22 '16 at 17:23
  • @James I hope you got the answers from the duplicates. – Ani Menon Apr 22 '16 at 17:24
  • @AniMenon No, I did not. This is not a duplicate question, but thanks for trying anyway. – James Apr 22 '16 at 17:27
  • Well often times, browsers have their own system of logging the client's username/password that is independent of any of the webpage's code. In that case, it is impossible to stop it from autoloading without the client changing his browser settings himself. – Wold Apr 22 '16 at 17:33
  • @Wold Thank you for the comment. I actually just seen a similar post saying the same thing as I continue to google this issue. I do see a possible fix I am going to try real quick that basically just tricks the browser into not knowing it's the login... – James Apr 22 '16 at 17:36
  • @Wold In case you are curious, check the "answer" I just posted. Seems to work, but is basically just a hack job. – James Apr 22 '16 at 17:42

  • @BSMP Wow, good catch. What gave it away? The fact that I stated that's where I found my answer?... hahahah ;) – James Apr 22 '16 at 21:36

Well thanks to another post at How can I avoid browser prepopulating fields in my registration form? I was able to fix this. At least, to find a work-around. The trick was to put invisible text and password type inputs between my actual email and password inputs. The browser uses the invisible inputs instead and leaves my actual inputs alone.

  • ah yes, I remember having to deal with this a while back. It is kind of a hacky solution, but if it works, it works. – Wold Apr 22 '16 at 17:50
