How do I get browser to prompt to save password in Javascript?

Question

I'm working on a website that has a login page...

Here's the problem: the browser never offers the usual "Save this password? Yes / Never / Not Now" prompt that it does for other sites.

I tried wrapping the <div> in <form> tags with "autocomplete='on'" but that made no difference.

Is it possible to get the browser to offer to store the password without a major rework of my login flow?

Hi there Aaryan Khadka!

I'm pretty sure this is a browser configuration setting only. I am not aware of any way to control this programmatically.

For example, on Firefox it's under settings / logins and passwords - ask to save logins and passwords for websites

On Chrome it's under settings / passwords - offer to save passwords - auto sign-in

Have you tried to put type="password" in <input>?

Here's your code:

<input type="password" required/>

It would be helpful to know what you have tried out and what you are working with now.

Have you tried setting the password input as a password type? Take a look at this link. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/password
