Suggest password function in Chrome browser Answered

hello! I'm noticing that the "suggest password" function on chrome based browsers is overriding the visibility settings on my confirm password field. Anyone ever run into this issue and figure out a work around or any suggestions? I've attached a screen shot. My hide/show password function is running from this script

<script> $("#eye_open_password").click(function(){ $("#Password").attr("type", "text"); }); $("#eye_close_password").click(function(){ $("#Password").attr("type", "password"); }); $("#eye_open_confirm_password").click(function(){ $("#ConfirmPassword").attr("type", "text"); }); $("#eye_close_confirm_password").click(function(){ $("#ConfirmPassword").attr("type", "password"); }); </script>

    HI Jake,

    One sure workaround is to disable the browser's default password suggestion feature. You can achieve this by adding the autocomplete="off" attribute to your password input fields.

    Here's how you can modify your HTML:

    <input type="password" id="Password" name="Password" autocomplete="off"> <input type="password" id="ConfirmPassword" name="ConfirmPassword" autocomplete="off">

    I hope this helps.

    and that won't mess up auto-complete on the other fields?
