Disable form autofill in Chrome without disabling autocomplete [duplicate]

Answer 1

I was recently faced with this problem, and with no simple solution since my fields can be prepopulated, I wanted to share an elegant hack I came up with by setting password type in the ready event.

Don't declare your input field as type password when creating it, but add a ready event listener to add it for you:

function createSecretTextInput(name,parent){
    var createInput = document.createElement("input");
    createInput.setAttribute('name', name);
    createInput.setAttribute('class', 'secretText');
    createInput.setAttribute('id', name+'SecretText');
    createInput.setAttribute('value', 'test1234');

    if(parent==null)
       document.body.appendChild(createInput);
    else
        document.getElementById(parent).appendChild(createInput);

    $(function(){
        document.getElementById(name+'SecretText').setAttribute('type', 'password');
    });
};

createSecretTextInput('name', null);
