password autosave prevention

[echan]

I want my asp login page to be guarded so that even if the user selects the option of "autosaving" the password, no prior password will be remembered when he/she logs in again - is it possible?

Hmm interesting, you could randomly create the textbox name for the password, then save the randomly created textbox name to a session then call it on the next page.

<%
Dim genTextBoxName


genTextBoxName = &quot;&quot;
Randomize
For i = 1 to 8
intNum = Int(10 * Rnd + 48)
intUpper = Int(26 * Rnd + 65)
intLower = Int(26 * Rnd + 97)
intRand = Int(3 * Rnd + 1)

Select Case intRand
Case 1
strPartPass = Chr(intNum)
Case 2
strPartPass = Chr(intUpper)
Case 3
strPartPass = Chr(intLower)
End Select
genTextBoxName = genTextBoxName & strPartPass
Next

Session(&quot;txtPass&quot;) = genTextBoxName
%>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;<%=genTextBoxName%>&quot;>


page2.asp

<%

Response.Write(Request.Form(Session(&quot;txtPass&quot;)))

%>

Is this the same thing with autocomplete feature?

You can use IE specific parameter in the input tag for this purpose. autocomplete=off

didnt know there was a way to shut it off, then again I never really ran into a situation where i needed to do this. But the way I showed you would work too. www.vzio.com

Was hoping for a client side script to trap and block the autosave feature of the browser but anyway - will try out the above methods...many thanks
