Hi Team, Username and Password filed is auto filled in Firefox even after setting autocomplete='off'. I have also follow 'https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Turning_off_form_autocompletion' and set autocomplete='nope' and autocomplete='new-password' but still it is auto filling username and password filed. Username and Password filled is dynamically generated on page.

How can we fix this to prevent auto filled.

Regards, Bipin

Hi,

We can prevent this by changing the setting of browser which will be user specific. Every user needs to change their setting to prevent this. I need to prevent auto filled using HTML for all users not for specific user.
