Disable or change behaviour of a "Save Username/Password"-prompt in chrome [duplicate]

Question

I need to be able to prevent the Save Password bubble from even showing up after a user logs in.

Autocomplete=off is not the answer.

I have not come across a post that offers a secure solution for this issue. Is there really no way to disable the password bubble in Chrome??

Answer 1

I found there is no "supported" way to do it.

What I did was copy the password content to a hidden field and remove the password inputs BEFORE submit.

Since there aren't any passwords fields on the page when the submit occurs, the browser never asks to save it.

Here's my javascript code (using jquery):

function executeAdjustment(){       
        $("#vPassword").val($("#txtPassword").val());
        $(":password").remove();        
        var myForm = document.getElementById("createServerForm");
        myForm.action = "executeCreditAdjustment.do";
        myForm.submit();
    }

Answer 2

After hours of searching, I came up with my own solution, which seems to work in Chrome and Safari (though not in Firefox or Opera, and I haven't tested IE). The trick is to surround the password field with two dummy fields.

<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">
<input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="off">
<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">

Here's the CSS I used:

.stealthy {
  left: 0;
  margin: 0;
  max-height: 1px;
  max-width: 1px;
  opacity: 0;
  outline: none;
  overflow: hidden;
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  z-index: -1;
}

Note: The dummy input fields can no longer be hidden with display: none as many have suggested, because browsers detect that and ignore the hidden fields, even if the fields themselves are not hidden but are enclosed in a hidden wrapper. Hence, the reason for the CSS class which essentially makes input fields invisible and unclickable without "hiding" them.

Answer 3

Add <input type="password" style="display:none"/> to the top of your form. Chrome's autocomplete will fill in the first password input it finds, and the input before that, so with this trick it will only fill in an invisible input that doesn't matter.

Answer 4

The best solution is to simulate input password with input text by replacing value with asterisks or dots manually.

Answer 5

<input type="textbox" id="UserID" />
<input type="password" style="display:none"/>
<input type="textbox" id="password" />

<script>
  function init() {
       $('#password').replaceWith('<input type="password" id="password" />');
  }     
</script>

tested in Firefox and chrome working as expected.

Answer 6

I handled this with the following markup.

#txtPassword {
  -webkit-text-security: disc;
}

<form autocomplete="off">
  <input type="text" name="id" autocomplete="off"/>
  <input type="password" id="prevent_autofill" autocomplete="off" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
  <input type="password" name="password" id="txtPassword" autocomplete="off"/>
  <button type="submit" class="login100-form-btn">Login</button>
</form>

Answer 7

I found no alternative with all the benefits I need so, created a new one.

HTML

<input type="text" name="password" class="js-text-to-password-onedit">

jQuery (replace with vanilla JS with same logic if you don't use jQuery)

$('.js-text-to-password-onedit').focus(function(){
    el = $(this);
    el.keydown(function(e){
      if(el.prop('type')=='text'){
        el.prop('type', 'password');
      }
    });
    // This should prevent saving prompt, but it already doesn't happen. Uncomment if nescessary.
    //$(el[0].form).submit(function(){
    //  el.prop('readonly', true);
    //});
});

Benefits:

• Does not trigger prompt
• Does not trigger auto fill (not on page load, nor on type change)
• Only affects inputs that are actually used (allowing undisturbed element cloning/templating in complex environments)
• Selector by class
• Simple and reliable (no new elements, keeps attached js events, if any)
• Tested and works on latest Chrome 61, Firefox 55 and IE11 as of today
