I have a login area on my site, build with PHP/Mysql
How can I avoid Windows from filling out the password when someone used the function to remember the password.
Because when a user chooses to remember the password on a computer which is shared with other people Windows fills out the password. And I don't want Windows to do so.
Hope someone knows an answer to this.
Kind regards,
UncleP

Actually, what you are experiencing is a Browser Feature. This is something you really can't fix.
However! From what I can tell, IE, and most other browsers, won't "Remember" passwords, and any fields on https sites.
So if you setup the login on a https server, that should solve your problem.
The other way is a reminder type thing, where you remind the person not to save the password.
Finally, I don't know if it works, but it might. On the login page, make the URL random.
Something like "http://www.example.com/loging.php?023480283048023"
So that whenever they go to the page, the browser won't remember it's the same page.
However, that is just in theory.
