Knockout and Autofill issue

1102760Mar 20 2017 — edited Sep 20 2019

Hi All,

I have a login form with 3 fields Username, Password and Account name (all three set to required true and autocomplete="off")

<input id="loginemail" autocomplete="off" data-bind="ojComponent: {component: 'ojInputText', value: loginemail, placeholder: 'Registered email address', required: true}">

<input id="loginpassword" autocomplete="off" data-bind="ojComponent: {component: 'ojInputPassword', value: loginpassword, placeholder: 'Password for the PIC account', required: true}">

<input id="accountname" autocomplete="off" data-bind="ojComponent: {component: 'ojInputText', value: accountname, placeholder: 'PIC account name', required: true}">

Everything works fine except:

  1. Even though autocomplete="off", Chrome still offers to save the username and password (seems like a Chrome quirk). As a result of this, if a user chose to save the credentials, Chrome will autofill the form but will not trigger a Knockout state change. This causes issue as the API gets the username, password field as "". Online there are workarounds suggested including one from Knockout (Knockout : The "textInput" binding ). How do I use it with ojInputText ?
  2. Does "required: true" just add a * to the label or it also checks if the field is actually populated ? Its a hit or miss, sometimes it works sometimes it does not. Is this also related to Knockout change event not being fired correctly ?

How to handle these issues ?

Hi both

What versions of JET are you using? If you are on version 4+ then you shouldn't be using the data-bind syntax anymore, you should move to the input text components as below:

<oj-input-text

    id="loginemail"

    autocomplete="off"

    value="{{loginemail}}"

    placeholder="Registered email address" required>

</oj-input-text>

<oj-input-password

    id="loginpassword"

    autocomplete="off"

    value="{{loginpassword}}"

    placeholder="Password for the PIC account" required>

</oj-input-password>

<oj-input-text

    id="accountname"

    autocomplete="off"

    value="{{accountname}}"

    placeholder="PIC account name" required>

</oj-input-text>

For point 1: I would initially advise changing the components as above. If you are still having issues with Chrome autofilling, try wrapping the inputs in a form element, and then setting the autocomplete value to 'new-password'.

For point 2: required will validate the fields, you need to add show-required='true' to the label to show the *. Your login function will need to check whether the fields are valid also. You may want to look into a validation group for this.
