Help! cPanel Login won’t autofil my password!
Posted by danblog on April 13, 2012 in How Tos & Tutorials | ∞
So for most people cPanel updated to 11.32 and there’s now a shiny new login form. Annoyingly cPanel in all their wisdom added autocomplete=”off” so the forms are no longer pre-filled which as someone who runs a numerous web servers running cPanel and has to login to them 20 times a day this is a BIG pain in the ass.
Thankfully there is a very simple solution, and it comes in the form of a plugin!
Chrome:
Install the “autocomplete = on” plugin which changes all autocomplete=”off”‘s to on

Dead simple. Problem solved 🙂

Wow so simple, why didn’t I think of that!
Just installed the extension, sadly it’s not working for me – it still won’t remember my cPanel password or offer to remember it. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
There was a version of cPanel where this was the problem and you didn’t need an extension to fix it. You could have removed the autocomplete through the Inspect element functionality. In the next version, the current one, this is no longer the method they used, rather they fill the actual value attribute of the input and therefore the remembered credentials are no longer recognized (or even checked for) and there is no cure for that.
Yes I agree that the new cpanel login is annoying. Firefox can catch the login details while Chrome won’t.
