Angularjs Chrome autocomplete dilemma
From the link added in the comment:Github Issue's
// Due to browsers issue, it's impossible to detect without a timeout any changes of autofilled inputs

// Could break future Angular releases (if use `compile()` instead of `link())
// TODO support select

var inputDecoration = ["$delegate", "inputsWatcher", function($delegate, inputsWatcher) {
var directive = $delegate[0];
var link = directive.link;
function linkDecoration(scope, element, attrs, ngModel){
var handler;
// By default model.$viewValue is equals to undefined

From: Developer.mozilla.org docs Turning_off_form_autocompletion
If an author would like to prevent the auto-filling of password fields in user management pages where a user can specify a new password for someone other than themselves, autocomplete="new-password" should be specified, though support for this has not been implemented in all browsers yet.
So, what makes it work for me:
- set autocomplete="new-password" on the password field
- set autocomplete="off" in the username field.
I hope that it works for you too :)
