Hey @freitasm

 

Just needed to login again and noted the "Authenticator code" of the login page prompted me to enter the previous code.

 

Wondering if changing the 'type' from 'text' to 'password' would stop the TOTPCode attribute being cached for future use?

Sorry, I don't understand.

 

You have 2FA enabled so you have to enter a time-based code.

 

Can you tell me exactly what you were trying to do and the results?

Using the example below, the browser (chrome) will remember tis field had 222333 enter into it. When you login the next time, it will prompt if you want to use 222333 again.

 

Suggestion is to change it to html type 'password' so the browser doesn't save the OTP codes.

I guess you have the Form Fill feature enabled in your browser then?

Yeah i guess it must be Form Fill feature, but not sure storing OTP in Form Fill is a good outcome, vs it being treated as a password field?

The form fill is not helpful really. Also the code changes every 30 seconds so that is... useless.

In line with what OP was suggesting.

 

 

<input style="background-color:#f5f2d0" type=text name="TOTPCode" size="40" maxlength="6"> (Two-factor authentication improves security. You can enable this option in your profile page)

 

 

If you were to change the type of that field from text to password, form fill should stop trying to cache it.

Why would you change the background colour?

And why change the type to password (which will mask the input making it harder for users)? I could add autocomplete="off" to that field and done.

Ah, sorry. That's the yellow/cream tint inside the boxes.

 

I've added autocomplete="off" now, see how it goes.

You may wish to consider autocomplete="one-time-code" (note that the "control group" of "password" does not necessitate setting type="password").
