Preventing password form fields in the browser from storing passwords

Input dialogs on web pages allow web browsers to store any passwords that are entered. This makes things easier for a user accessing the page again in future. This web browser feature is a vulnerability that malicious software can exploit to read out the confidential form data.

To force the manual input of login passwords each time a page is accessed, open WEBconfig and navigate to Setup > HTTP > Disable-Password-Autocompletion and prevent the storage of passwords with the setting "Yes".
