I need to be able to prevent the Save Password bubble from even showing up after a user logs in.
Autocomplete=off is not the answer.
I have not come across a post that offers a secure solution for this issue. Is there really no way to disable the password bubble in Chrome??
I found there is no "supported" way to do it.
What I did was copy the password content to a hidden field and remove the password inputs BEFORE submit.
Since there aren't any passwords fields on the page when the submit occurs, the browser never asks to save it.
Here's my javascript code (using jquery):
function executeAdjustment(){
$("#vPassword").val($("#txtPassword").val());
$(":password").remove();
var myForm = document.getElementById("createServerForm");
myForm.action = "executeCreditAdjustment.do";
myForm.submit();
}
After hours of searching, I came up with my own solution, which seems to work in Chrome and Safari (though not in Firefox or Opera, and I haven't tested IE). The trick is to surround the password field with two dummy fields.
<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">
<input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="off">
<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">
Here's the CSS I used:
.stealthy {
left: 0;
margin: 0;
max-height: 1px;
max-width: 1px;
opacity: 0;
outline: none;
overflow: hidden;
pointer-events: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
Note: The dummy input fields can no longer be hidden with display: none as many have suggested, because browsers detect that and ignore the hidden fields, even if the fields themselves are not hidden but are enclosed in a hidden wrapper. Hence, the reason for the CSS class which essentially makes input fields invisible and unclickable without "hiding" them.
Add <input type="password" style="display:none"/> to the top of your form. Chrome's autocomplete will fill in the first password input it finds, and the input before that, so with this trick it will only fill in an invisible input that doesn't matter.
The best solution is to simulate input password with input text by replacing value with asterisks or dots manually.
I handled this with the following markup.
#txtPassword {
-webkit-text-security: disc;
}
<form autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" name="id" autocomplete="off"/>
<input type="password" id="prevent_autofill" autocomplete="off" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" />
<input type="password" name="password" id="txtPassword" autocomplete="off"/>
<button type="submit" class="login100-form-btn">Login</button>
</form>
<input type="textbox" id="UserID" />
<input type="password" style="display:none"/>
<input type="textbox" id="password" />
<script>
function init() {
$('#password').replaceWith('<input type="password" id="password" />');
}
</script>
tested in Firefox and chrome working as expected.
I found no alternative with all the benefits I need so, created a new one.
HTML
<input type="text" name="password" class="js-text-to-password-onedit">
jQuery (replace with vanilla JS with same logic if you don't use jQuery)
$('.js-text-to-password-onedit').focus(function(){
el = $(this);
el.keydown(function(e){
if(el.prop('type')=='text'){
el.prop('type', 'password');
}
});
// This should prevent saving prompt, but it already doesn't happen. Uncomment if nescessary.
//$(el[0].form).submit(function(){
// el.prop('readonly', true);
//});
});
Benefits:
Does not trigger prompt
Does not trigger auto fill (not on page load, nor on type change)
Only affects inputs that are actually used (allowing undisturbed element cloning/templating in complex environments)
Selector by class
Simple and reliable (no new elements, keeps attached js events, if any)
Tested and works on latest Chrome 61, Firefox 55 and IE11 as of today
First of all I wanna tell you something.
When you take [input type="text"] and also [input type="password"]
Major browsers give you popup for that.
Now, replace [input type="password"] to [input type="text"]
then there is css for that
#yourPassTextBoxId{
-webkit-text-secutiry:disc
}
I've subverted this by using 2 regular text boxes. One to contain the actual password and one to function as a mask. I then set the password box's opacity to 0 and the mask text box is disabled - but the background color is set to white making it appear enabled. Then I place the password box on top of the mask box. In a jscript function I update the mask's text value to display a string of '*' characters with each keypress in the password box. Two drawbacks: the blinking cursor might now show depending on your browser. It shows in IE, but not Chrome or Firefox. There's a bit of a delay as the user is typing.
My code snippet is in asp:
$(window).ready(function() {
var pw = $('#txtPassword');
var mask = $('#txtMask');
$(pw).css('opacity', '0');
$(pw).keyup(function() {
var s = '';
for (var i = 0; i < $(pw).val().length; i++)
s = s + '*';
mask.val(s);
})
});
style... .password {
font-family: monospace;
position: absolute;
background-color: white;
}
Asp.net code:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" CssClass="password" Width="300" ID="txtMask" ClientIDMode="Static" MaxLength="30" Enabled="false" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" CssClass="password" Width="300" ID="txtPassword" ClientIDMode="Static" MaxLength="30" />
I had two issues with how browsers force their password behavior on you when working on a support-only login page within a regular page (the support login should never be saved):
The browser will recommend a login from the rest of the page which gets in the way.
The browser will ask to save the entered tech password.
So I combined two solutions I found on various stackoverflow posts and thought I'd post them here. I'm using jQuery, but the principle can be translated into regular JavaScript as well.
First, have your password field start as a text field and have JavaScript change it later - this gives a decent chance that the browser won't offer a saved password.
Second, just before submitting the form, set the password form back to being a text field, but hide it first so the password can't be seen. This could be made to look prettier by adding another text field when the password field disappears, but that's cosmetic only.
<form id="techForm" action="...">
<input type="text" id="username" name="username">
<input type="text" id="password" name="password"> <!-- this needs to start as a text field -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$('#password').on('focus', function()
{
$(this).prop('type', password'); // this stops pre-saved password offers
});
$('#techForm').on('submit', function()
{
$('#password').hide().prop('type', 'text'); // this prevents saving
});
});
</script>
This worked for me on Firefox and Chrome as of 9/12/2017.
The only thing worked for me was adding a space to input's value after document ready and then deleting the space when user focused on the input.
$('.login-input').val(' ');
$('.login-input').on('focus', function() {
$(this).val('');
});
Simple and easy. Works on Chrome 64. In Firefox all you need is adding autocomplete="off" attribute to the input.
My own solution jQuery with PrimeFaces. Tested work in Chrome and Internet Explorer but in mozilla firefox (though not in Firefox)
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(function(){
$('#frmLogin').on('submit',function(e){
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:usuario')).replaceWith('<label id="frmLogin:usuario1" type="text" name="frmLogin:usuario1" autocomplete="off" class="form-control" maxlength="8" tabindex="2"/>');
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:password')).replaceWith('<label id="frmLogin:password1" type="password" name="frmLogin:password1" autocomplete="off" value="" tabindex="3" class="form-control"/>');
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:password1')).attr("autocomplete","off");
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:usuario1')).attr("autocomplete","off");
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:password_hid')).attr("autocomplete","off");
$(PrimeFaces.escapeClientId('frmLogin:usuario_hid')).attr("autocomplete","off");
});
});
</script>
<h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{loginMB.password}" class="form-control"
placeholder="Contraseña" tabindex="3" label="Contraseña" autocomplete="off" disabled="#{loginMB.bdisabled}"/>
<p:inputText value="#{loginMB.password_hid}" id="password_hid" type="hidden" />
If you choose to let Google Chrome save website passwords, you'll see a prompt every time you sign in to a new website. If you click Never for this site in the prompt, your password for the site is not saved and the site is added to a list of passwords that are never saved.
You can edit this list AND DISABLE THE PROMPT:
Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
Select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings.
Click Manage saved passwords.
In the Passwords dialog that appears, scroll down to the "Never saved" section at the bottom.
To remove a site from this list, select it and click the X that appears the end of the row.
Now revisit the website and you should see the prompt to save your password information again, if you've allowed Google Chrome to show the prompt.
So I am trying to make a bookmark in chrome that would input a Javascript code that would fill up a textbox on my router home page. The goal is saving me the hassle of either remembering that silly password or having to open my textfile containing the said password.
I know, I know, ... I am lazy. (but not for learning some Javascript in the process)
The thing is the textbox doesn't have an ID and its name changes on reload so I cannot know its name in advance.
I have looked at a few pages on here that kind of guide me in the right direction but I can not make it work for the life of me as I have little to no experience in Javascript.
Here is what the html of the textbox looks like :
<input type="PASSWORD" style="WIDTH: 150px" name="password_random10digitnumber" value="" size="20" maxlength="64">
Here is what I ended up with as a link on my bookmark (the only thing I tried that doesn't give me an error).
javascript:document.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value='myrouterpwd'
Currently, when I press my bookmark, it refreshes the page and shows a blank page with "myrouterpwd" on it.
(There is two other input html blocks on the page which are :
<input type="HIDDEN" name="md5_pass" value="">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="auth_key" value="numbersIamnotsureIshouldshowtheworld">
)
Thank you to anybody taking the time to answer!
I haven't worked much with bookmarks and am assuming that because it's a bookmark, you are navigating away from the page that you actually want to work with. So, I'm not sure that triggering this that way is a viable solution. Of course, you could just take advantage of the browser's ability to store passwords for you. ;)
But, to the main point of your question... Assuming that it's the only password field on the page, the use of element.querySelector() will find it:
// Get a reference to the right element based on its type attribute value
let passwordBox = document.querySelector("input[type='password']");
passwordBox.value = "MySecretPassword"; // Populate the field
console.log(passwordBox.value); // Confirmation
[type='password'] { background:yellow; } /* Just so you know which box is the password box */
<input type="hidden" name="doesntMatter">
<input name="someTextBox">
<input type="password" name="doesntMatter2">
<input name="someOtherTextbox">
I've read that the solution to display 'Search' instead of 'return' in mobile is to have a form wrapper around an input element and set the type to 'search'. However, this doesn't work for textareas.
ie:
<html>
<body>
<p>
<form>
<input name='search' type='search' placeholder="Input type is search" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
What is the solution to get this to work in a <textarea />?
From another thread: Changing keyboard type for html textarea on iPad
I wasn't able to find a way to natively do this neither. In the past, we've been able to 'trick' the keyboard by setting a hidden input with the correct type, and pushing the resulting text into an alternate container, though we had headaches recreating the the user interactions, text caret, rendering, all just to avoid using the native keyboard.
At best, you're looking at an very impractical solution.
Add the action parameter to the form element.
<form action=".">
<input name='search' type='search' placeholder="Input type is search" />
</form>
See this answer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/26287843/4556503
I've created a search page that can be toggled between french and english. So when the user searches a record and toggles to french it displays the same record they were viewing on the english page.
What I want to do is display the record name in the search box when the page is toggled.I assumed it was as simple as doing a $('#inputID').val(record); but it doesn't seem to be working. I've alerted the record name and it works fine, so I'm stumped. All the scripts are linked correctly as well so that's not the problem.
Autocomplete Box Code
<div id="ui-widgit">
<label for="searchParams">
<h1>Search All Programs (By Screen Number or By Error Code):</h1>
</label>
<input type="text" id="inputID" name="inputID" value="" class="ipt_Design" style="width:255px;" />
<input type="button" value="Search" name="searchBtn" class="btn_Design" onclick="showSearch(inputID.value)"/>
</div>
Try to change the value of inputID with this
$('#inputID').val(recordToggle);
also have tried this:
$('#inputID input').val(recordToggle);
It is hard to tell with your presented markup but I am assuming you are trying to change the value of $('#inputID') after the page refreshed. It is important where you put this code. If it is placed before <input type="text" id="inputID" name="inputID" value="" class="ipt_Design" style="width:255px;" /> you will not return anything with $('#inputID') so you will change the value of nothing to your text. It will give no error. To fix this you can use:
$( document ).ready(function(){
$('#inputID').val(recordToggle);
});
Be sure to read about jQuery's ready function because load may be the better choice.
If this doesn't fix your problem let me know. I will update my answer.
<form id="commentform" method="post" action="wp-comments-post.php">
<input type="text" aria-required="true" tabindex="1" size="22" value=""
id="author" name="author">
</form>
I set default value "visitor" to the input box. When focus is in text box or mouose enters it, I want to hide "visitor" string and want to show it when it loses focus or mose moves out.
Try using the HTML5 placeholder attribute:
<input type="text" aria-required="true" tabindex="1" size="22"
placeholder="visitor" id="author" name="author">
While browser support is not 100% there yet, this will give you a standard way to achieve what you're trying to achieve, without going through unnecessary hoops.
Another thing you can try is to overlay the input element over some text and make it transparent/translucent when not in focus and opaque when in focus/filled.
As of today, Tumblr's login page uses this trick:
<div class="input_wrapper" id="">
<label for="user_password">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="user_password" name="user[password]" data-validation-type="password" value="">
</div>
Through CSS magic this becomes:
Looks like you are using WordPress, so you have the jQuery library on your site.
You can use my jQuery plugin to achieve this.
Example
jQuery
$('#author').inputLabel({
customLabel: 'Visitor'
});
In this case, I had to specify the label myself, but the plugin works without this by finding the relevant label element to the input, which should be present for accessibility.
jsFiddle.
If you are up to HTML 5 yet then try this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var prompt="visitor";
var txt=document.getElementById("author");
txt.onfocus=function(){txt.value='';}
txt.onblur=function(){
if(txt.value==''){
txt.value=prompt;
}
}
</script>
Ates Goral's answer looks very interesting. please try it first shot. this is an alternative if you do not want to sweat..:)
i would suggest using a watermark plugin. there are many available.
have used this plugin before. worked fine. gives you nice control.
the plugin requires jQuery
Though I too would use jQuery or CSS and a pseudo-class (:focus)....
Here's an easy JS solution that does exactly what you're after. Again, I wouldn't recommend this approach for more than one or two input fields.
<input type="text" value="Visitor" onFocus="this.value='';" onBlur="this.value='Visitor';" id="author"/>
