I've always had an idea of randomizing a form element's name and passing that random name to the following page to force the browser to not autocomplete the information (it can't pre-populate if it's never seen the form name before).
I've never actually worked out how to do this mainly because I've never had to but I don't think it's very hard. Perhaps randomize the username field and then have a hidden field named "username" and have the value as the "real" username element's random name so you have access to it. Just an idea.
