The login password field is being autocompleted in Firefox and this caused my site to fail the security scan. How do I disable this?

On my windows7 machine using firefox 15.0 the password for my login is autofilling when remember me is checked or not. I am running a 7.0.6 store. I have tried to change the LoginDialog.ascx.cs by adding Password.Attributes.Add("autocomplete", "off"); There are no other modifications.
It had no effect.
Can anyone help with this?

Have you tried to turn off the "remember password" setting in firefox under security? If not try to turn that off and delete all history and cookies before trying the scan again.

I know how to do that in firefox. We signed up with a new credit card company and they said that when they scanned my website that it was auto-completing the login password field and we weren't PCI compliant. I told them that it was the user's browser settings and they finally backed down.

It might be that FireFox does not respect the autocomplete attribute. According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... completion you can set autocomplete off on the entire form and FireFox will respect that.
