How to disable autocomplete for passwords in IE8 via GPO?

  • 772

In IE6 there was a registry key hidden away that would allow you to enable autocomplete but only for usernames, not passwords.

This key no longer has any effect in IE8. I can either enable or disable autocomplete for usernames and passwords, but not just one of the two.

What I'm looking for is a way to enable autocomplete for usernames, but disable it for passwords.

Is there a way to do this in IE8?

windows group-policy internet-explorer internet-explorer-8

  1. I believe there is a GPO template available from Microsoft for this. Here is a listing of all the GPO settings available for IE8, they do list some entries for disabling Autocomplete under Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Settings\AutoComplete

    I can't see any settings listed for just passwords though
