Sitefinity Backend Admin Login Auto Complete Off

Hi All,

One of our client is asking to set Auto complete Off on the Admin Login Form. How i am Supposed to do that ?? I tried :

www.sitefinity.com/.../turn-off-form-auto-complete 

 How do i override the behavior of existing Sitefinity admin login Form?

Ehsan,

I have solution that MIGHT work, or at least give you a good start.  I also want to mention that this solution requires making a small modification to the login back-end screen.  I recommend testing this out in a TEST environment first before trying this in your production environment.

Below are my steps...

1. Log on the your Sitefinity backend
2. Go to the Administration > Backend Pages.  Click the OK button to acknowledge the warning of changing backend pages.
3. Under the "Login" group page click on the "Login" page.
4. Add a script block to the bottom of the page, a paste the JavaScript snippet, found below, into the textbox and set the option "Where to include HTML?" to "Before the closing body tag"

I hope that you find this helpful.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the response. I am using Sitefinity Version 7.2 and i couldnt find any such option to add scripts to the page beside one i found in the 'Title & Properties' of the page and then 'Advanced Options' (Screen Capture Attached) but no luck. Can you please point out where exactly i have to add my own snippets on the page.

Thanks

Hello Ehsan,

You can add the code, proposed by Craig, in JavaScript widget.

More information how to do this is available here.

I hope this information helps.

 Hi Svetoslav,

Thanks for your response. I've tried your proposed idea of add a JS Widget on the page but unfortunately its not working. I added autocomplete on textboxes also on form level but its not reflecting at all. By doing a little research i came to know that chrome ignores autocomplete on first two textboxes so, i am going to try to add a hack by adding two hidden textboxes on the form. Any idea how i am going to achieve that ??

Thanks

Hello Ehsan,

The code provided by Craig seems works fine (video demonstration).

Please try the following:
- Go to Administration > Backend Pages
- Open Sitefinity > Login > Login
- Add JavaScript Widget
- Click edit and Paste the proposed code
- Set it Before the closing body tag (screenshot)
- Click Save and publish the Page

This is not a reasonable solution if you use a security scanning application. The scanning tool looks at the actual code behind the login form. Using a JS script to dynamically insert this attribute after page load is not satisfying this security requirement.

Hi AG.

Alternative solution. Instead of using JS, you can override default template of backend login widget. 

Detailed instruction how to do that located here: http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/Change-the-default-template-of-the-backend-login-widget

And just add autocomplete="off" attribute in new template

Since 8.0 this is an advanced configuration option.

To turn on/off password autocomplete go to  Settings > Advanced > Login > Disable browser autocomplete check box.
