autocomplete on form with two password fields

I'm having a problem with a form with two password fields. I have a form with three input fields: name (text), id (password), and PIN (password). My browser stores the password from PIN & autocompletes it back into the id field next time I visit the page. The PIN field is initialized empty.

Is there a way to have the ID number stored as the saved password & PIN left blank? I've tried adding an "autocomplete=off" attribute in the PIN input field with no effect.

FWIW, I'm using Firefox & trying not to use javascript.

Any suggestions (or documentation on how autocomplete/password saving actually works inside any browser) would be appreciated.

If autocomplete="off" is not working, you should add <input type="password" style="display: none;"/> before any password input. It will hold completed password and will not interfere with anything.

<input name="password" type="password" autocomplete="off"> should do it in firefox.

See this answer: Is autocomplete="off" compatible with all modern browsers?

Did you put the off in quotes?
