Stop browser from filling textboxes with details

But it doesn't work. You can see above screenshot. It is email field which automatically filled by reference of cache when page loaded. It is going to be headache.

Can anybody please suggest me how to prevent this?

Please note, I don't want to clear history. I just want that this should not be filled up when my page loads.

I am not sure, but this could be done by the browser. In IE11, there is this setting:

Maybe it helps to delete the AutoComplete history and disable AutoComplete.

Answer 2

Adding autocomplete="new-password" will solve your problem. I have tried autocomplete="off" and autocomplete="false" both did not work for me. This works perfectly autocomplete="new-password"

Answer 3

You cannot disable the autofill programatically. It is browser behaviour, and it differs per browser. You can disable it per browser, but that is up to the client.

According to this answer, you can add hidden dummy textboxes before the actual ones to throw off the autocomplete.

<input style="display:none" type="text" name="fakeusername"/>
<input style="display:none" type="password" name="fakepassword"/>
