As the title says...
When I initially go onto the log in form i created, the password field appears to have 5 characters in even though i have not typed anything into it?
It's not a major problem as everything works fine however i would like to get rid of the characters so that the application 'looks' better.
At no point do i set any initial values for the password field therefore i am unsure as to why there are characters present there initially?
Thanks.
Hi BenzZz,
as far as I understand this is a HTML-problem. Try setting the initial value with
value=""to an empty string.
Otherwise I can suggest:
- Open your source code in your browser and see if you have any artifacts from your php parser
- make sure you have your JavaScript deactivated
I hope that helps, Simon
The browser may have stored your password - did you choose to 'remember password' for that site? If so, you can delete the stored password, e.g. in chrome:
If this is indeed the problem, you can use the autocomplete="off" attribute in the form tag. However, this means that you force this on all users.
If this happens in a browser that haven't been used to access the app yet, it is an issue with your code (it's a good idea to test your app in all popular browsers anyway).
