Disable browser 'Save Password' functionality

Many users will use shared computers to login to my web-application. Now, I am a huge proponent of letting people browsing be in control of how they use my application, but in this case, I find it important that the users don't get the opportunity to save their passwords. These people are not tech-savvy and the chances are big they will save their passwords, giving access to their accounts without them even knowing.

I am aware of the fact that a decently configured public machine shouldn't allow saving user names or passwords, but that's not under my control. I'm also aware of <input autocomplete="off" />, but that only works in certain browsers (not firefox, for instance).

Is there a way to turn of the "remember password" feature that will work in most (if not all) browsers?

Autocomplete on the input statement is the only option I know. What you can do is write a Javascript function that will retrieve all input statements and add the attribute autocomplete off.

jQuery is:

$('input').attr('autocomplete','off');

    And this will disable autocomplete on all fields rather than just the login form ones. – Marko May 24 '12 at 08:06
