AutoComplete Attribute Not Disabled for Password in Form Based Authentication

TomBoB

Silver Pleskian
CentOS 6.5, Plesk 12.0.18#16

Would like to have the autocomplete disabled. Personal preference. :)

Martin Ottiger in thread http://forum.parallels.com/showthre...other-Plesk-annoyance!&highlight=autocomplete doesn't seem to work in 12 anymore.

ikaryn suggested in http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?210121-Saving-Login-Information&highlight=autocomplete a solution which is only for one session.

As far as I can find it seems hardcoded into the login_up.php3 file.
Is there a way to turn off the autocomplete somewhere permanently?
