Hi my site failed a PCI compliance check because of the autofill behaviour on the CB login module / menu.
How can i override this behaviour? Or is there a configuration setting or joomla plugin?
Thanks for any pointers

I just read this post:
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/professional-members-support/242016-turn-off-autofill
Which i'm guessing is still the case?

I'm not sure how a PCI compliance check would fail due to a login modules autofill. I've never heard of such a requirement. Sounds like your site was checked with some buggy AI tool?

The post you linked is in regards to backend user edit where we already have autofill turned off. Same for frontend profile edit. Autofill in the login module is intentional and is exactly where autofill should be used. Login module autofill can't be turned off without using a Joomla template override of the modules layout and adding that yourself.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i agree some aspects of PCI compliance are an absolute joke.
And i would agree with your observation about the login mod.

Only solution I can offer then is Joomla template layout for your login module and change autocomplete="username" and autocomplete="password" to autocomplete="off". I still don't see what this has to do with PCI compliance though I'd question whoever told you this and push back on it as it makes no sense. The UX hit you'll get from this will be unpleasant as users will be frustrated with the login friction of not being able to use browser autofill.
