How to remove password hint from an input

Question

I am trying to get the password hint from the password change field, I already tried to disable the auto complete with the code

autocomplete="new-password" // or autocomplete="off"

but this does not work, does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Edit:

My problem is when I try to change the password, my password change screen, auto completion puts the old password as a new password, all standard means have been discarded, apparently google does not care what you want.

Please post the whole element so we can view any additional properties that are set. In addition, do you mind clarifying? I am not certain what you are trying to do, and others may feel the same way. — Adam Chubbuck, Aug 30 '18 at 13:46
Where in your example does the value for the password hint sit? — Adam Chubbuck, Aug 30 '18 at 13:57
the element has no value set, if it sets it to value = "" also does not work, I want to disable autoComplete — Lucas, Aug 30 '18 at 14:09

You can use the onFocus event to the password field.

<input type="password" onfocus="this.value=''" ... />

One suggested solution is to use autocomplete="new-password" and if that does not work for you, then you may try autocomplete="false". Do note that autocomplete="false" does not adhere to the official standards but is a known workaround.

You can try adding autocomplete="off" to your form and autocomplete="none" to your inputs like it's mentioned in this answer
