Disabling Chrome Autofill
I ran into a weird error where chrome was populating forms within an application with the stored username/password. For instance, in an Add New User form, the stored username showed in in the zipcode field.
Turns out that Chrome now ignores the autocomplete=”off” attribute. Chrome also looks for the first textbox of type “password” and fills the textbox directly above with the username, assuming it must be a login page.
The fix is ugly, but seems to work ok in .Net MVC. You have to fake out Chrome by adding two hidden fields, one of which is type=”password”, like so:
<input style="display:none" type="text" name="fakeusernameremembered" />
<input style="display:none" type="password" name="fakepasswordremembered" />
Here is a detailed thread at SO.
