Prevent browser from filling in stored username/password from LoginForm

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hi!

In my application I use the LoginForm. This works fine but in my application I have a few more username and password fields which all get automatically filled with those saved credentials from the login form. They are supposed to be empty but setting the value=null or “” doesn’t help… I guess it’s browser related but I was wondering if anybody knows how to prevent this behaviour in Vaadin? I tried changing the element attributes by using autocomplete=“off” but it didn’t work. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I solved it by using a hidden input field… not the most beautiful way but it works for now.

// add hidden text/password-fields to prevent browser from filling in stored username/password anywhere else
Label lblHidden = new Label("<input type='text' style='display:none;'/><input type='password' style='display:none;'/>", ContentMode.HTML);

I’m also facing this issue again… Firefox wants to refresh the the stored login data in every other dialogue where there are PasswordFields.
