Safari silently overwrites various username or password fields

    • Safari 6.1.1, MacOSX 10.8.5

      I am using Safari on Mac, and have it set it up to remember my username/password for the login screen.

      Now in various other (non-login) pages in Jenkins, there is a username or password field, and Safari overwrites those fields with my stored user info on each page load, even if they already contain other values. The only indication is that the fields are shown with a yellow background.

      This happens for example:

      • In the proxy configuration of Plugin Manager -> Advanced
      • When adding or EDITING a credential
      • When adding a credential of kind Certificate: the filename field is filled with my username, but the password field is not touched.
      • When going to Manage Credentials page, I have a "SSH username with private key" and a "Username with password" credential, and it replaces the username of the first, and the password field of the second entry

      It does NOT happen in some other places, for example the Jira Setup.

          Description Original: I am using Safari on Mac, and have it set it up to remember my username/password for the login screen.

          Now in various other (non-login) pages in Jenkins, there is a username or password field, and Safari overwrites those fields with my stored user info on each page load, even if they already contain other values. The fields are shown with a yellow background.

          This happens for example:
          - In the proxy configuration of Plugin Manager -> Advanced
          - When adding or EDITING(!) a credential
          - When adding a credential of kind Certificate: the {{filename}} field is filled with my username, but the password field is not touched.
          - When going to Manage Credentials page, I have a "SSH username with private key" and a "Username with password" credential, and it replaces the {{username}} of the first, and the {{password}} field of the second entry

          It does NOT happen in some other places, for example the Jira Setup.
