Forcing IE not to save password?

Hi all,

Is it possible to write a HTML form in such a way that it will force IE to forget the password and/or not offer to save it?

We have a web access to one of the clinical systems at the hospital where I work. Each user has a domain logon to the network, so having IE save passwords is not a huge security problem. The problem comes when the passwords expire and the user changes it. They don't get the fact that they have to change the saved password at least once!

This really came to a head when the software company rolled back the user database by accident during a server move/upgrade. We received about 500 password reset requests over 3 days, then had to explain to about half of them that the password does not change automatically. rolleyes (By the end I really wanted to scream at some of them! What would be the point in having a bloody password!)

</rant>

Sorry

Any ideas?

 

put this attribute in the text control tag
AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF"

 

That simple!?

I googled for ages, didn't see anything like that. I'll try it as soon as I give up with my soldering iron

Cheers Kodo!

 

Excellent, works perfectly.

Passwords that are already saved aren't lost suddenly so we won't get another huge rush of people who can't remember them.

Best bit is, it doesn't work with Firefox so my password will still be saved

Thanks again.
