Is there any way to manipulate Chrome settings with the help of JavaScript or jQuery? I want to disable the save password pop-up bubble using JavaScript. How to do this?

Chrome. Click the Chrome menu in the toolbar and choose Settings. Click Passwords. Turn off Offer to save passwords.
Method 1: One of the known methods is to use autocomplete attribute to prevent browser to remember the password. In the input field, if we define autocomplete=”off” then many times the input value is not remembered by the browser.
Try autocomplete='off' on the input field. Browsers should respect this - but of course they don't have to. UPDATE: This is now part of HTML5, and according to that standard you can add autocomplete='off' to the form tag to have it apply to all fields within the form.
Now I am going to give answer on my own question.
It can be done in both chrome as well as in mozilla fire fox.
First of all you must have to remove the attribute "password" of input type.
The main reason behind this is when you take input type = "text" and input type = "password" major browser shows that pop up. Because browsers have inbuilt functionality to show that pop up when you take input type = "password".
Now we can manipulate chrome from this.
Here is an example
<html> <head> <title> Remove Save Password Pop Up For Chrome </title> <style> #txtPassword{ -webkit-text-security:disc; } </style> </head> <body> <input type="text" id="txtUserName" /> <br /> <input type="text" id="txtPassword" /> <br /> </body> </html> It is css property that is used for changing text into bullets.
You cannot do this in mozilla. Because -moz-text-security is obsolete. It is not working in mozilla.
But we can also manipulate mozilla.
Now there are list of character codes in html that is supported in all of the major browsers.
From that character code for bullet is '•'. When you write this code in html it will print bullet like this "•"
Now we can replace the text field with these bullets
But there is one limitation for this. You cannot print bullets inside the text box. But there is also solution for that limitation. Because everything is possible in programming world.
For that limitation we can make fake div that shows bullets when you write password.
Here is an example.
<html> <head> <title> Remove Save Password Pop Up For Mozilla </title> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"> <script> function RemoveSavedPassword() { if (jQuery.browser.webkit == undefined) { inputValue = $('.real-input').val(); numChars = inputValue.length; showText = ""; for (i = 0; i < numChars; i++) { showText += "•"; } $('.fake-input').html(showText); } } </script> </head> <body> <div class="input-box"> <label>Enter password:</label> <div class="fake-input"></div> <input type="text" onKeyUp="RemoveSavedPassword()" class="real-input"> </div> </body> </html> Now there is magic of CSS. Magic means power of margin, padding, opacity and position attribute we can manipulate user.

There isn't a way to change Chrome settings directly from JavaScript, so the following answer will focus on how to prevent that dialog from appearing for a specific HTML form.
There aren't any great ways to do this as far as I can tell - from what I've read, the HTML5 autocomplete="off" attribute gets ignored in Chrome, so it will prompt to save the password even if you supply the attribute.
There is a workaround though - if you set the password field to be readonly until it is focused, Chrome will not prompt to save the credentials. Unfortunately there is no good clean solution that I know of, so that's why the solution I am posting is a little hacky.
Please view the JSFiddle in Chrome and try submitting each form to see the solution in action (you will need to reload the fiddle after you submit each time): https://jsfiddle.net/g0e559yn/2/
Full Code:
/* Chrome does not ask to save the password from this form */ <form id="form1" action="/"> Name:<br /> <input type="text" name="userid" /> <br /> Password:<br /> <input type="password" readonly onfocus="$(this).removeAttr('readonly');" /> <br /> <button type="submit" form="form1" value="Submit">Submit</button> </form> /*Chrome asks to save the password from this form */ <form id="form2" action="/"> Name:<br /> <input type="text" name="userid" /> <br /> Password:<br /> <input type="password" name="psw" /> <br /> <button type="submit" form="form2" value="Submit">Submit</button> </form> If you love us?
