I am a web developer. I am having an issue regarding the auto-fill for username and password.

The auto-fill is filling the username and password for the login form in my web app which is good but in creating user account the fields email and password are automatically filled which is not good.

The opera, edge and google chrome browsers works just fine.

Thank you.

There are two ways the browser can fill in data on a web page. One is the Password Manager which is used exclusively on login data. The other is the form filler built into the browser.

Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift > Delete Repeat as needed.
