Hi Gary, 

We turned it off for security and usability.  Some browsers would autocomplete (the wrong) passwords when editing user records, and it was kind of quirky.  Then security auditors like to say having autocomplete available is a security risk.

What is the issue you're trying to solve or avoid?  Is it having an easy way to login to all the client websites?  Do you need autocomplete available on anything other than the login forms?  And what password manager or browser are you using to "complete" the forms?

Let me know, thanks!

Certainly the login, but quite honestly any text field - I can certainly run through and find "autocomplete" within the cms folder, but was wondering if there was anything easier.  We generally use FF, Chrome and IE, no password managers, just the browsers.

Hi Gary, 

I've made a note to add a checkbox or feature to disable/enable it for future versions.  For now you could try a search and replace.  

We have a beta pending release right now, so it should be the version _after_ that one and I'll probably add it under the security options as a checkbox.

Hope that helps, cheers!
