I recently found out that Google is keen about users autofilling their forms. So keen that with the last update its browser Chrome fires a warning if the autocomplete attribute is missing or wrongly coded:
[DOM] Input elements should have autocomplete attributes (suggested: "current-password"): (More info: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/create-amazing-password-forms) <input class="input-text" type="password" name="password" id="password">
I have searched around but i could only find how to "turn it off".
Since I find it very useful (agreeing with Google), I would like to know if there are libraries out there to automatically add the attributes accordingly.
so that:
<form>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name">
</form>
becomes
<form>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" autocomplete="name">
</form>
taking the value from its 'name' attribute or 'id'.

I have tried using autocomplete false and also auto complete off. The cache is removed from the field, but iam still seeing chrome autofill data. Is there a way to disable chrome autofill option in angular forms? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Please check the autocomplete="new-password":
<input type="password" name="password" value="" autocomplete="new-password" />
It worked for me. Found in Google documentation
The autocomplete="off" is effectively respected by Chrome, but what you're experiencing is the Chrome autofill functionality that takes over, ignoring autocomplete="off": https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/06/checkout-faster-with-autofill.
In the past, many developers would add autocomplete="off" to their form fields to prevent the browser from performing any kind of autocomplete functionality. While Chrome will still respect this tag for autocomplete data, it will not respect it for autofill data.
One workaround is to put an unknown value in the autocomplete, e.g. <input type="text" name="somethingAutofillDoesntKnow" autocomplete="doNotAutoComplete" />. When testing this it worked for me most of the time, but for some reason didn't work anymore afterwards.
My advise is not to fight against it and use it's potential by properly using the autocomplete attribute as explained here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#autofill
Through some trial and error testing, it appears that if you set the input name and autocomplete attributes to a random string, Chrome's autofill is prevented from appearing. I created a small directive to achieve this.
import { Directive, ElementRef, Renderer2, AfterViewInit } from '#angular/core';
#Directive({
selector: '[appDisableAutofill]'
})
export class DiableAutofillDirective implements AfterViewInit {
constructor(private readonly el: ElementRef, private readonly renderer: Renderer2) { }
ngAfterViewInit() {
const randomString = Math.random().toString(36).slice(-6);
this.renderer.setAttribute(this.el.nativeElement, 'name', randomString);
this.renderer.setAttribute(this.el.nativeElement, 'autocomplete', randomString);
}
}
Just change your input from type TEXT to type SEARCH.
<input type="search" name="your_address" autocomplete="nope" />
Chrome fill work with text fields but it's ignored on search type.
Chrome seems to ignore all practical/clean attempts to stop this - so we need to get a little hacky. I prevented this using 2 honeypot inputs. They can NOT be "display:none" or they will get skipped. So I wrapped them in a div that's height:0; overflow:hidden; and gave them opacity 0 (just to be double sure). Your real inputs must come AFTER the honeypots. See below
<!-- honeypot prevents chrome user autofill bs-->
<div style="height:0; overflow:hidden">
<input style="opacity:0;" type="email" value="" class="" />
<input style="opacity:0;" type="password" value="" class="d-" />
</div>
<!-- end honeypot -->
<!-- ... then put your real inputs after-->
<input type="email" name="email" value="" class="" />
<input type="password" name="password" value="" class="d-" />
<!-- end honeypot -->
Disabling autocompletion
To disable autocompletion in forms, you can set the autocomplete attribute to "off":
You can do this either for an entire form, or for specific input elements in a form:
<form [formGroup]="exampleForm" autocomplete="off">
...
</form>
// or
<form [formGroup]="exampleForm">
<div>
<label >Credit card:</label>
<input type="text" id="cc" name="cc" autocomplete="off">
</div>
</form>
To Disable in Login Fields:
many modern browsers do not support autocomplete="off" for login fields:
to prevent autofilling of password fields, you can use
autocomplete="new-password"
I had similar issue, I was not able to resolved it with any of the solution maybe because I was using third party for Google places Autocomplete ngx-google-places-autocomplete
where autofill overlapping google suggested address. I was able to resolve it using focus event as shown below
<input ngx-google-places-autocomplete [options]='options' #placesRef="ngx-places" (onAddressChange)="handleAddressChange($event)"
type="text" class="form-control" id="address1"
formControlName="address1" placeholder="Street address, P.O. box" required (focus)="setAutoFillOff($event)">
setAutoFillOff(event: any) {
if (event) {
event.target.attributes['autocomplete'].value = 'chrome-off';
}
}
I am putting out this to helps who might be in similar situation.
It appears that autocomplete="off" can be used directly on form tag.
Useful when you have a lot of text inputs
<form [formGroup]="vmForm" autocomplete="off">
Google Chrome Version 78.0.3904.108
TLDR; Don't label your inputs with obvious names or Chrome will pick that up and autofill the input.
I often use a form-group class to wrap my labels and inputs together, pretty common practice. So much so the only way I found to get around AutoFill in Chrome (Angular 8, Chrome v80) was to change the value of my label for the input.
Turns Off AutoFill:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="aRandomPlace" class="form-group-label">Pickup Location</label>
<input type="text" name="aRandomPlace" [(ngModel)]="data.address" class="form-group-input">
</div>
Does Not Turn Off AutoFill:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="address" class="form-group-label">Pickup Address</label>
<input type="text" name="address" [(ngModel)]="data.address" class="form-group-input">
</div>
I believe we are discussing to disable 'autosuggestions' not 'autocomplete'
"Autocomplete=off" works for the text type input field but the browser ignores it if it is password type. there are lot many suggestions to use "Autocomplete='chrome-off', 'new-password'" but these are not meant to disable autosuggestions.
for these, I prefer masking technique to mask the content.
.autocompleteOff{
-webkit-text-security: disc;
}
<input class='autocompleteOff' type=text>
Just add to all the HTML input tag which is being auto filled within a form tag as bellow:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputId"
name="inputName" autocomplete="new-inputName"
[(ngModel)]="model">
Note: Use "new-form_element_name" as autocomplete property as shown above.
It worked for me!!!
I found the answer in documentation and it works like a charm.
You can find more about it here.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="one-time-code" id="one-time-code">
Usually what I do is I change type of input dynamically for example in Angular:
[type]="(field.length > 0)? 'password' : 'text'"
In this manner, the browser is unable to recognise the password field the first time you click it and will not provide a suggestion. However, if the field value has been input once and then erased, the browser will provide a suggestion. (At least it is not providing suggestion for the first time).
I am disabling the inputs using the isFetching prop,
but this is getting reduntant as I have to keep this in every input field.
Is there a way to disable the entire form?
Like a disable property in <form> tag or something?
<form>
<input type="text" disabled={this.props.isFetching} />
<input type="text" disabled={this.props.isFetching} />
</form>
I think this should solve your problem https://stackoverflow.com/a/17186342/3298693.
You should insert your form inside an element <fieldset disabled="disabled">. This will make the whole form disabled.
I had the same issue and this worked for me:
<fieldset disabled={true}>
Where true would be some "prop.setting"...
Just use <input type="text" disabled> wherever you want the input text to be disabled. It hardly takes some time.
UPDATE: I got in contact with the developer and he said to use this code as a foundation:
(function($) {
$('.jr-page').on('keyup','.jrAutoSuggest',function(){
$(".customfield").val($(this).val());
});
})(jQuery);
It doesn't work at the moment and I'm not sure why but you can also see my original post below this text for more details and I appreciate all of your help:
I am trying to copy one input field to another when a user types. I would like to accomplish something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/bxHQ5/ Notice that when you type into the input box on the left, it duplicates the text on the right.
To be more specific, on my website, I am using this form
I want what the user types in the "Car Manufacturer" input box to directly be copied to the "Testfield" input box as they type. Also, the "Testfield" input box text cannot be deleted or altered by the user once text is inputted in the car manufacturer field. They both have to be exactly the same.
Please note that the car manufacturer input field shows a hidden input which the user cannot see and should be ignored in this case. If you look at the HTML, the car manufacturer input looks like this:
<input id="myrelatedfield" class="jrAutoSuggest ui-autocomplete-input acInstructions" type="text" autocomplete="off" role="textbox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-haspopup="true"></input>
You'll notice I put my own customer ID in there called "myrelatedfield" The field it needs to copy text to looks like this which has a custom class "jr_testfield"...
<input class="jr_testfield jrText" type="text" data-click2add="0" name="data[Field][Listing][jr_testfield]"></input>
Thanks!
I ave updated the code
have a look at it
http://jsfiddle.net/vishalgupta358/bxHQ5/383/
$("#EmailAddress").keyup(function(){
$("#Username").val($(this).val());
});
Use readonly="true" property to prevent write access.Input value will also be available when u submit the form
HTML:
<input type="text"id="EmailAddress" name="EmailAddress" value="" >
<input type="text" id="Username" readonly="true" name="Username" value="">
Script:
$("#EmailAddress").keyup(function(){
$("#Username").val($(this).val());
});
DEMO
I was wondering if someone knows what controls the showing of previous form field entries in a form.
So for example, if in the name field, I go to type 'John' it appears below the field. Is that a feature of the browser or is it javascript or something?
Also, if it is the browser, is there a way I can turn this off for a given form?
You might be looking at autocomplete, if so turn it off with autocomplete="off" within the HTML of the relevant field:
<input type="text" name="firstname" autocomplete="off" />
References:
input element.
It's made by the browser, if you're working with HTML5 you can set a attribute to the input-element to remove it.
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" />
