Masking input characters without type=password

Question

So I have a problem with newer browsers saving passwords. Say I have a password box like so:

Answer 1

We had a use case where admins could view other user records and make changes. One of the fields was that other user's password. In this instance, letting the password manager pre-fill the field was a "bad thing". So what we ended up doing was waiting a short period of time after the page had loaded and then cleared out the password field...

// After the page has loaded...
window.addEventListener('load', setTimeout(function() {
  // Wait a bit and then clear out the contents of the field
  document.getElementById('other-password').value='';
}), 100);
