You, people here trying to mess with users, are the reason why browsers have to do extra work to be useful for their users. if there were no assholes abusing the flag for real login forms. It could be solved by all browsers obeying some simple flag. Easy, works, and is actually more unexpectedly auto-filling some fields in management forms is a real problem. You might still run into the two problems above, but at least you won't be messing up in a more global if you have a browser that is used on a shared system by hundreds of users, you disable password saving feature in that browser. If those are actually your users on platforms you control, you just disable password remembering feature in their browsers.

do something else with their passwords that will make the security worse (simple passwords etc).
