Removing input background colour for Chrome autoco

Question

On a form I'm working on, Chrome is auto-filling the email and password fields. This is fine, however, Chrome changes the background colour to a pale yellow colour.

The design I'm working on is using light text on a dark background, so this really messes up the look of the form - I have stark yellow boxes and near-invisible white text. Once the field is focused, the fields return to normal.

Is it possible to stop Chrome changing the colour of these fields?

Answer 1

SASS

input:-webkit-autofill

  &,
  &:hover,
  &:focus,
  &:active
    transition-delay: 9999s
    transition-property: background-color, color

Answer 2

Adding one hour delay would pause any css changes on the input element.
This is more better rather than adding transition animation or inner shadow.

input:-webkit-autofill, textarea:-webkit-autofill, select:-webkit-autofill{
  transition-delay: 3600s;
}

Answer 3

This is complex solution for this task.

(function($){
    if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("chrome") >= 0) {
       $('input, select').on('change focus', function (e) {
            setTimeout(function () {
                $.each(
                    document.querySelectorAll('*:-webkit-autofill'),
                    function () {
                        var clone = $(this).clone(true, true);
                        $(this).after(clone).remove();
                        updateActions();
                    })
            }, 300)
        }).change();
    }
    var updateActions = function(){};// method for update input actions
    updateActions(); // start on load and on rebuild
})(jQuery)

*:-webkit-autofill,
*:-webkit-autofill:hover,
*:-webkit-autofill:focus,
*:-webkit-autofill:active {
    /* use animation hack, if you have hard styled input */
    transition: all 5000s ease-in-out 0s;
    transition-property: background-color, color;
    /* if input has one color, and didn't have bg-image use shadow */
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 1000px #fff inset;
    /* text color */
    -webkit-text-fill-color: #fff;
    /* font weigth */
    font-weight: 300!important;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" name="name" autocomplete="name"/>
<input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="email"/>

Answer 4

This works fine, You can change input box styles as well as text styles inside input box :

Here you can use any color e.g. white, #DDD, rgba(102, 163, 177, 0.45).

But transparent won't work here.

/* Change the white to any color ;) */
input:-webkit-autofill,
input:-webkit-autofill:hover, 
input:-webkit-autofill:focus, 
input:-webkit-autofill:active  {
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 30px white inset;
}

Additionally, you can use this to change the text color:

/*Change text in autofill textbox*/
input:-webkit-autofill {
    -webkit-text-fill-color: yellow !important;
}

Advice: Don't use an excessive blur radius in the hundreds or thousands. This has no benefit and might put processor load on weaker mobile devices. (Also true for actual, outside shadows). For a normal input box of 20px height, 30px ‘blur radius’ will perfectly cover it.

Answer 5

try this for hide autofill style

input:-webkit-autofill,
input:-webkit-autofill:hover,
input:-webkit-autofill:active,
input:-webkit-autofill:focus {
    background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
    color: #555 !important;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 1000px white inset !important;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: #555555 !important;
    }

Answer 6

Unfortunately strictly none of the above solutions worked for me in 2016 (a couple years after the question)

So here's the aggressive solution I use:

function remake(e){
    var val = e.value;
    var id = e.id;
    e.outerHTML = e.outerHTML;
    document.getElementById(id).value = val;
    return true;
}

<input id=MustHaveAnId type=text name=email autocomplete=on onblur="remake(this)">

Basically, it deletes the tag while saving the value, and recreates it, then puts back the value.
