Disable autofill - Developer

Question

This has been asked multiple times but with no real/working answer

I have a html form and want to disable autofill/autocomplete

So far I have tried the autocomplete="off" in the form tag and in the input tag

Also I have disabled this three options in flags: Show Autofill predictions, Fill passwords on account selection, Show autofill signatures

Tried chaging the name/id of the form and also the inputs

In fact I have tried this plugin with no luck: jQuery.disableAutoFill plugin - User Guide (terrylinooo.github.io)

Btw. I want to disable this via developer, not flags.. can't tel every user to disable this

I'm using 107.0.1418.42

Hi @sunco ,

Thanks for this sample. I have successfully reproduced this issue and Edge just kept auto-filling the 2 inputs. However, I edited this sample and replaced autocomplete="off" in User and Password with autocomplete="new-password". Now, Edge won't auto-fill the inputs for me as you can see in the pic (PS: I didn't delete anything.):

Hi @sunco

You will want to add the autocomplete="off" to each <input> tag as seen below:

    <form>  
        On:<input type="text" name="on" autocomplete="on">  
        <br>  
        Off: <input type="text" name="off" autocomplete="off">  
        <br><br>  
    
        <input type="submit">  
    </form>  

Edge will then read the HTML and no longer show autocomplete in the second box (Off) as seen below:

When the on input is selected:

When the off input is selected:
