Issue 1854: The username and password remember option fill up non login fields. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1854
Comment #7 by unknown.unit: I just tested this again with 0.3.155.0 (Developer Build 5673). Behaviour is consistent with previous versions. Based on the different place in the page it appears, I would say that what is happening is the browser is finding the first password field on the page and then filling that with the password, and whatever is above it with the username. On a phpbb forum profile page, this results in emailaddress being filled with the user name (user names are not changeable and so are just displayed as text, not as an input field.) On a custom registration page which has the password almost at the bottom, it is filling the username in for the cellphone field - this is the field above the password field, which is what led me to believe it is searching for the password field and then just assuming the field above is the username (on a login page this should be true - on a registration or profile page it often will not be.) since fields can be inconsistently named (e.g. in this case on registration the field which will become username is called emailaddress, but then on the login form it is called username) I am sure a fix which retains the auto fill functionality is difficult. Possibly it requires a standard to which sites need to conform (username called username everywhere even if it is an email address as well) - this would also require the browser to check for a field called username and one called password, and then it could guess if it doesn't find both. It wouldn't be perfect, and won't help at all on sites I can't change and which the designers won't change (the custom reg page is on a site I built and I can change, phpbb I can't) but it would be a little better than the current situation. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
