Just use autocomplete on your inputs:

autocomplete="off"

Something like:

<input type="text" autocomplete="off">

You can always switch back to autocomplete="on" when required.

According to Mozilla developer documentation the form element attribute autocomplete prevents form data from being cached in older browsers.

<input type="text" name="foo" autocomplete="off" />

The password manager always prompts if it wants to save a password. Passwords are not saved without permission from the user.

We are the third browser to implement this change, after IE and Chrome.
