I signed up to the site, had Firefox remember my password. I then went to my edit profile page and changed a custom member field and clicked submit. I get the “password you submitted is not correct” error. I went back to the edit form and noticed that the password box (name=“password”) one is pre-filled with my password. Obviously firefox is pre-filling what it saved on login and causing the issue.
I did a quick google search and found I can use:
<form AUTOCOMPLETE = "off">
or
<input type="password" name="password" AUTOCOMPLETE = "off"/>
I tried the second option as the first option would require editing the php file I imagine. Testing the second option, the pre-filled password is gone and I am no longer receiving the error when I save my profile.
My question though, is this a solution for all versions of firefox? What about Chrome or internet explorer, etc?
On google someone wrote:
“I couldn’t get autocomplete = “off” to function consistently enough so I went with a GUID in the end; it was clean enough to code and a little more ‘universal’. ”
