Chrome Autofill doesn't respect autocomplete=off

This is about more than just password fields, although that is a big one.

I can give you a legitimate, actual use case where I had to develop a workaround: a page where an admin can change the password for a user. Under no circumstances would an autofill be desirable on that page, yet Chrome thinks it knows best.

set autoFill to "new-password"

Edit: I stand corrected, this approach worked for me when I was building an internal app but apparently doesn't work at other times.

Just don't give the input an "id=password" and Chrome won't throw your password into it.

It's just a label, the autofill is because it matches all the other sites where you do want Chrome to autofill your password.

Ha, how did you come up with that nonsense solution? You've obviously never actually dealt with this if you think that would work.

Yeah, Chrome can be very devious at figuring it out. I've had success using `autocomplete="new-password"` at least.
