Symptoms

It is found that when a user tries to login Juniper devices via J-Web, the password is cached by the browser and automatically filled in since last login. This article introduces the methods to disable password caching for different browsers. 

Solution

There isn't a way to disable the password caching from Juniper devices for J-Web login, Instead, changes should be made on browser settings to prevent the password caching. 

Here are the recommended configurations for main browsers: 

+ Firefox: Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Logins & Passwords --> uncheck the options of "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites"

+ Edge: Settings --> Passwords & AutoFill or View advanced settings --> Manage passwords --> delete saved usernames and passwords, or turn off the auto-save password feature

+ Google Chrome: Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Passwords --> Turn off the option of "Offer to save passwords" and delete the saved passwords accordingly 

+ Additional method: in web code, you may add the autocomplete="off" attribute to the password input field to prevent password saving (eg. <input type="password" autocomplete="off"), 

   Note: this should be done from browser in HTML code, please contact your local IT administrator for further assistance.
