Is there an about:config setting in Firefox that makes it ignore autocomplete=off? Or an addon that has the same effect? Even better if the addon excludes the credit card 3-digit security code field, but tbh I'd live with absolutely everything being autocompleted. Too many websites mess with this on other form fields.

One problem is that the auto-fill uses the names of the field to find matches it has stored, so if they name them something unusual, the add-on won't know which field is which. So, you would end up with it trying to put your phone number in the credit card field, etc. StuRat (talk) 15:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Some search lead me to [1]. If you skim to comment 100, you see a mention of signon.storeWhenAutocompleteOff, which should be turned on by default. However, if I understand correctly, it only works on password fields remembered by FF's password manager, and it was more or less decided in that thread to honor autocomplete=off in other fields. So, depending on the visited website's config, it may not be enough.

I could not find any addon, but it seems technically simple enough (scrap the autocomplete attribute from HTML content) that there should be an addon to that effect.

Also, not your question, but the fact that your computer is physically secure is probably a minor consideration for password confidentiality. The threat model the bugzilla thread posters' use is online (forged website/SSL certificates, XSS etc.) rather than physical (burglars inspecting the contents of Firefox's memorized passwords to break into bank accounts).

Maybe use Greasemonkey and http://blog.monstuff.com/archives/images/AllowPasswordRemembering.user.js 77.161.58.217 (talk) 14:59, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
