Browser Automatically Populating Attribute on Form

Post by customaware »

This is a REALLY annoying thing that has been happening for a long time and drives me crazy....

I am using Chrome as a Browser and find often it populates certain cells on the screen with my login name automatically.
Sometimes it is on a Form.... and usually always the same cell.
Other time it is a one of the Query Filter Cells

See below....

I am assuming it is something to do with auto-fill which is fine for passwords but this is filling with LoginName

Any clues as to how to stop it please?
Cheers,
Mark

It is a "helpful" feature.

A work around is not to use common names (LoginName etc) for your attributes. The downside will be that auto fill may not work for your end users

Don't know if there is an automatic way.
Each morning some users clear chrome history.
Settings - history - clear browser history - Advanced tab - Autofill form data - none.

I think it might have been being caused by the 1Password extension in the Browser.
Will monitor and see.
