Could also be client side cache. Try setting the appropriate expiry headers on the page to prevent Chrome from loading the page from cache/memory. – Apocryphal

If your browser ignores autocomplete="off" adding a random string in place of 'off' will fix the issue. Eg, autocomplete="autocomplete_off_hack_xfr4!k" – Lumbye

Answer 1

It appears that Chrome now ignores autocomplete="off" unless it is on the <form autocomplete="off"> tag since v34.

you can't cheat by create an hidden input over. Auto complete feature will get the first input text to fill data.

Method 1:

<form id="" method="post" action="" autocomplete="off">
    <input type="text" style="display:none" />
    <input type="password" style="display:none">
    <asp:textbox autocomplete="off">
</form>

So put this before your textbox.

<input type="text" style="display:none" />

Method 2:

Change

autocomplete="off" 

to

autocomplete="false" 

Method 3: Browser autofill in by readonly-mode.

 <input type="password" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');"/>

Method 4:

For username password combinations. Chrome heuristics looks for the pattern.

<input type="text" onfocus="this.type='password'">

Method 5: jQuery

if ($.browser.webkit) {
    $('input[name="password"]').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
    $('input[name="email"]').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
}

Method 3 seems to be the most reliable and standardised across browsers – Guiltless

None of these methods works on Chrome for me. Version 94.0.4606.71 (Official Build) (64-bit) – Dispensable

Method 1 works for chrome, but I had to add name="username" and name="password" - of course my inputs have a different id of APIUsername/APIPassword - Chrome Version 109.0.5414.75 (Official Build) (64-bit) – Neritic

Nothing method working for me :( – Mcfarlin

Answer 2

This is the only solution that worked for me with both Autocomplete and Chrome's Autofill: It works also after calling new this.props.google.maps.places.Autocomplete

1. Add autocomplete="off" on the form tag.

2. Set autocomplete="none" directly on the input inside the form and set the attribute again on focus.

    <form autocomplete="off">
        <input type="text" autocomplete="none" onfocus="this.setAttribute('autocomplete', 'none');"/>
    </form>

This worked for me on latest Chrome version – Primogenial

All methods not working in 2024<=*

• ❌ autocomplate attribute
• ❌ type="hidden" input
• ❌ ...

---

Try this:

Replace data-name as name from your input/inputs, Add JQuery codes.

Note: Before sending form, all data-name will convert to name attribute for your input ;)

<input data-name="password" />

if ($('*[data-name]').length > 0) {
    var form = $('*[data-name]').parents("form")[0];
    $(form).submit(function() {
        $.each($('*[data-name]'), function(index, element) {
            $(this).attr('name', $(this).attr("data-name"));
        });
    });
}

Answer 4

this is works if you want to keep white as your input background color

<input type="password" class="form-control" id="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" style="background-color: white;">

Answer 6

Chrome does not support autocomplete="off" at the form level for some input fields. There are 2 solutions to do so:

• In your form, if only two or three fields ignore autocomplete="off", then use the field name itself as the autocomplete value. i.e. autocomplete=

<form:input type="text" id="name" path="name" autocomplete="name"/>

• Instead of defining field name manually for each field, use a script for all text typed input at the loading of the page or after.

if ($.browser.chrome) { 
    $(document).on('focus click tap', 'input', function() {
        $(this).attr("autocomplete", 'block');
    });
} else {
    $(document).on('focus click tap', 'input', function() {
        $(this).attr("autocomplete", 'off');
    });
}

Answer 7

this solution is no longer working in chrome 95 and above,

Try using a normal input with type text, disable copy and pasting then add a style with property -webkit-text-security to add character mask on typing

#Not that this css property is not universal as mentionned here https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-text-security

Answer 8

This works well and also compatible with MDL (Material Design Light):

// Fix chrome's ignore on autocomplete=off
$('input[autocomplete=off]').each(function(){
    var copy = $(this).clone();
    copy.val('');
    copy.removeAttr('autocomplete');
    copy.insertAfter($(this));
    $(this).hide().removeAttr('required id class');
});

Answer 9

automcomplete="off" or automcomplete="false" 

or Define autocomplete inside Input field

$('input[name="password"]').attr('autocomplete', 'off');//Disable cache

Answer 10

very simple, you can follow this

let elements = document.querySelectorAll('[autocomplete="off"]');
elements.forEach(element => {
    element.setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");
    element.style.backgroundColor = "inherit";
    setTimeout(() => {
        element.removeAttribute("readonly");
    }, 500);
})

Answer 11

Is it not possible to use password type where text type is required?Regardless of the method presented above, Chrome unconditionally handles autocomplete if the name is the same. So, I used a method to randomly change the name like this.

$(document).on('focus click tap'
    , 'input[autocomplete][autocomplete!=""]:not([data-oname][data-oname!=""])'
    , function() {
    var oname = $(this).attr('name');
    var newName = "random string";  // random string
    $(this).attr({"data-oname":oname,"name":newName,autocomplete:newName});
    // A random string should be set for name and autocomplete above.
}).on('blur', 'input[data-oname][data-oname!=""]', function() {
    var oname = $(this).attr('data-oname');
    $(this).attr({"name":oname}).removeAttr('data-oname');
});

Answer 12

This works:

$(document).ready(function () {

    setTimeout(() => {
        $('input').attr("readonly", 'readonly');
        $('input').attr("onfocus", "this.removeAttribute('readonly')");
    }, 100);
    
});

Answer 13

This is how I solved the problem.

$("body").on('focus',':input', function (e) {
    $(this).attr('autocomplete', 'off');
    $(this).attr('autocapitalize', 'off');
    $(this).attr('autocorrect', 'off');
    $(this).attr('spellcheck', 'false');
});

OR

<input type="text" autocomplete="off" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false">

Answer 14

Use autocomplete="new-password" instead of autocomplete="off". This is a newer, more specific value for the autocomplete attribute, which indicates that the field is for a new password, rather than just any input. This can help prevent the browser from auto-filling the field with old passwords.
