[SOLVED] joomla keeps asking for the user password in backend when editing user content

8 years 6 months ago - 8 years 6 months ago #280591 by innovationdenmark
Hi,

I upgraded to new versions of Joomla and CB and everything seem to work fine in general exept one issue. When I want to edit users CB content in the backend it keeps wanting me to place the users password in again. It happens no matter what field content I want to update. This can be a problem if users change their password in the future.
Does anybody know what to do to avoid this. It seems to be a good extra security in some cases but not always.
Thanks

Your browsers auto complete is likely doing it. It'll auto complete the first password input, but not the verify input. Turn off auto complete for your site within your browser or clear the stored password in your browser. We already set autocomplete="off", but browsers and especially browser extensions do ignore it (especially LastPass for example, but that can be turned on).
