Chrome - Would you like to save this password? prompt getting incorrect value
There seems to be only one solution to this issue. Renaming id="email"
to id="username"
doesn't resolve the issue either. It seems like it doesn't matter about the id or the label, browsers use the field immediately preceding the id="password"
field as the username and so I have moved the two fields together, like this:
<form action="POST" src="#">
<input id="state" type="text" />
<input id="country" type="text" />
<input id="email" type="text" />
<input id="password" type="password" />
<input id="confirmpassword" type="password" />
<input type="submit" value="Request Account" />
</form>
If anyone knows how I can specify the field used as username
in the browser's save password prompt (regardless of form field positioning) I would appreciate the pointer!
Guilherme's solution display: none
did not work for me, so I applied the following CSS class on extra login field:
.Login--hidden {
height: 1px;
position: absolute;
top: -1px;
left: 0;
width: 1px;
}
I also had to add tabindex="-1"
to the element, to take it out of the tab-flow.
Still not ideal.
Im running on the same issue here.figured out (Read somewhere else and tested) that in chrome and in chrome only you can set autocomplete="username"
on the email field. And this will let the browser know what is the correct username field. However this only works for chrome, so Im not using this solution
