Hi folks,

I need to find a way either using Javascript, META tags,
or some similar solution to prevent people who visit my
webpage from having their passwords saved automatically
in the browser. The reason is security: the webpage
allows access to data that is critical, and if some other
person were for instance to steal a laptop that has a
saved password on it, that would be a major security issue.

So to give an example of what I'm talking about, banks and other
secure online systems prevent the automatic saving
of passwords. The question is, how do they do that?

Thanks.
