694354 - Affiliates: Disable password auto-fill on homepage registration / edit profile page

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox Affiliates Graveyard :: affiliates.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Chris More [:cmore]]

When you save your log in password on Affiliates, the browser saves the domain + field name as the meta data. If any other password fields with the same name appear on the website, they will be auto-filled with the saved password. This is an annoyance with users editing their profile as it auto-fills the first password field and the homepage page has their password also filled in for the registration field. All the password fields on the website are labeled id_password.

If you make all of the password fields unique, when you save the homepage log in form, it will not enter the saved password in any other password form fields. You can also set autocomplete = "off" as an attribute in the registration form field and edit profile form to accomplish the same thing as making unique fields. :)

With the pull reuqest on bug 698893 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698893) there will be duplicate naming for the password field on the front page.

I will make a seperate change for this one and push a pull request.

Marking as invalid due to BrowserID.
