Enabling or disabling autocomplete for credentials
Autocomplete helps users log in more easily by predicting their user name and password on the login page. For example, if a user starts typing awa in the Username box, the browser might offer the option of selecting awatson, because a user with that user name had already logged in from that machine. When you select the user name from the list of suggestions, the browser might automatically fill in the user's password as well. For security reasons, you should usually disable autocomplete on your system.
