Autocomplete Enabled

Autocomplete was not turned off.


Autocomplete is a HTML tag attribute used to disable the form auto completion
mechanism of the browser.


Impact
An attacker able to access the browser cache can retrieve sensible information
in cleartext.


Solution
Although auto-completion is a useful feature it should be disabled
(autocomplete=”off”) in forms, which process sensitive data, such account
credentials, banking and personal information.
