Web products: disable ability to save password in browser?

posted on December 11, 2014

Can this be disabled from the web server so that no client's can use browser save password capabilities similar to some HR software we use?

The first thing I would try is adding a autocomplete="off" attribute to the <input type="password" /> field.  For Web Access, this is on line 78 of Login.aspx.  Unfortunately, it seems like browsers are moving away from following this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3868299/is-autocomplete-off-compatible-with-all-modern-browsers/21348793#21348793.  I think their position is that the user should be the one who decides if remembering a password is appropriate.  You might also investigate enforcing this with group policy.

Thanks for the info, I had read up on the autocomplete option but a majority of browser developers have already disabled this.
