Able to set Autocomplete attribute off on main login page.

Our Penetration testers found that the autocomplete attribute was not set for the password field on the main login page. After I opened up a support ticket IBM stated:

Unfortunately, development won't accept missing 'autocomplete=off' as a defect.

I would recommend logging an enhancement request on the Idea forum for IBM Data & AI site so that other customer could vote on this idea. This way development could see how many customers need this functionality and provide their feedback straight to you:

Has anyone else found this as an issue?

    The AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF was added to the input field, but it's up to the browser to honour the property.


    Even without a master password, in-browser password management is generally seen as a net gain for security. Since users do not have to remember passwords that the browser stores for them, they are able to choose stronger passwords than they would otherwise.
    For this reason, many modern browsers do not support autocomplete="off" for login fields:

    - If a site sets autocomplete="off" for a <form>, and the form includes username and password input fields, then the browser still offers to remember this login, and if the user agrees, the browser will autofill those fields the next time the user visits the page.

    - If a site sets autocomplete="off" for username and password <input> fields, then the browser still offers to remember this login, and if the user agrees, the browser will autofill those fields the next time the user visits the page.

    This is the behavior in Firefox (since version 38), Google Chrome (since 34), and Internet Explorer (since version 11).
