AutoComplete Attribute Not Disabled for Password in Form Based Authentication

TomBoB

Regular 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?

Contact the vendor to have the AutoComplete attribute disabled for the password field in all forms. The AutoComplete attribute should also be disabled for the user ID field.
