I am currently trying to remove the form autocompletion done by the user's browser which can cause some critical behavior since it fills the password field. I have already added the autocompletion attribute to all of my textbox fields but when I try with firefox it stills load my current login information into the fields.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
EDIT: Since it's not clear, I have already added the aucompletion attribute with the value set to "off".
There is an autocomplete=off
property in html.
It is used in the top right search box on this very page, inspect the html you'll see:
<input autocomplete="off" name="q" class="textbox" placeholder="search" ..... />
See this MDN article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_Turn_Off_Form_Autocompletion
In MVC you would implement this at the form or for a textbox like so:
Html.BeginForm(
action, controller, FormMethod.Post, new {autocomplete="off"})
OR
Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.EmployerNumber, new {autocomplete="off"})
If you check HERE, setting autocomplete="off"
on the form should do the trick.
The HTML5 have a add-on syntax for form/input elements, it is called autocomplete="off".
See http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_form_autocomplete.asp
You can randomize id and name attributes of your textboxes - this will make browser autocomplete functions not working.
My implementation
In view:
<%
var guidString = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
%>
<%=Html.TextBox(guidString, String.Empty)%>
<%=Html.Hidden("NameGuid", guidString) %>
in Controller:
string userName = Request[model.NameGuid];
...
