Password field in Account tab is autofilled

Hi @tubescreamer

Please try adding this javascript to your theme/customizer:

jQuery("input[type=password]").attr("autocomplete","off");

Regards,

I did, it shows that autocomplete is set to off for the field in inspect element but for some reason the password still autofills in the field even after I remove the password from the field and refresh the page.

Hi @tubescreamer

What’s your browser that auto-fills the password fields?

Could you please try this one with a random autocomplete value?

jQuery("input[type=password]").attr("autocomplete","new-password");

Regards,

Adding that code seemed to stop the password field from autocompleting in the Account tab. Note, it only autocompleted in the Account tab, not the change password tab. I am using Google Chrome Version 92.0.4515.131 on Mac OSX.

Should I keep that code in my custom javascript file?

Hi @tubescreamer

You can keep the script to stop the autocomplete issue.

Okay, but based on this: https://web.dev/sign-in-form-best-practices/

The code you’ve provided will add the autocomplete=”new-password” attribute to every password field on the site, when it should only be affecting password fields for sign-up forms or password reset forms, or in my case, the password field in the Account > General form of UM Woo. Is there any way I could target just this field, maybe using the class/id?

Hi @tubescreamer

You can use the browser inspect element to check the form’s ID/Class and then add it to the script if you need to trigger it for a specific form.
