Yes, autocomplete=off is generally ignored only when inputting a new
password.  Then Password Manager will indeed allow the user to save the
password.

My experience, however, is that autocomplete=off is not ignored for
passwords already saved if the user ID and password are entered in
separate Web pages, a situation that is becoming more and more common.
In that case, the password is not filled in.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off.  See
