Yes that's exactly the case.  Less bad is that the current password is
auto-filled and then there is an error when you save because the new passwords
are blank.

Suggestion:  All autocomplete should be disabled on user settings page  -- and
blank entries (e.g. in email address) should indicate that no change is made in
that setting.

Thanks for this pointer Mark.  Can you remind me of the use case where  turning
auto complete off would be desirable.  Is this for instructors changing
passwords and accidentally changing email addresses?

Take care,

Mike

Mike,

I found this page regarding disable of auto-complete:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2530/how-do-you-disable-browser-autocomplete-on-web-form-field-input-tag

It appears this code was the approved answer:
<input type="text" name="foo" autocomplete="off" />

Not sure where to put this (and test).

Mark
