I guess that browsers that don't support autocomplete (like Opera) don't have this issue. Other than that, the issue seems to be a combination of a few things: firstly, autocomplete is turned on by default for input boxes (so in order to turn it off, you'd have to specifically include the autocomplete="off" attribute - but from what I can find, that's not valid XHTML).

Secondly, I thought that IE turns off autocomplete when it detects an https connection, so if you're having the issue described in the article, there's a problem that's bigger than just an autocomplete issue.


I recommend you delete all the entries you find, or even delete the entire file if you don't want any forms being remembered.
I haven't tried this, but I'm going to guess that IE and Firefox will just recreate the files if you delete them. If you don't want any forms being remembered, you could just, you know, turn off autocomplete?

Edit: this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...86(VS.85).aspx) seems to say that autocomplete is enabled over https after all unless specifically turned off...
