Question

I have two different forms on my home page: one for logins and one for registrations. As you can see from the code, the forms have inputs with different names:

<h3> Log In </h3>
<form action="/login/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
  <input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" />
  <input type="password" name="login_password" id="id_login_password" /><br>
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Login</button>
</form>

<h3> Sign Up <small>(It's free!)</small></h3>
<form action="/register/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
  <input id="id_register_username" type="text" name="register_username" maxlength="25" />
  <input type="text" name="register_email" id="id_register_email" />
  <input type="password" name="register_password" id="id_register_password" />
  <input type="password" name="register_password2" id="id_register_password2" /><br>
  <button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>

Which renders to this in Chrome:

What can be causing this? And how can I fix it?

It appears a similar question has been asked before:

What is the correct way to stop form input boxes auto-completing?

There is an autocomplete attribute you can use in form fields.

<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" autocomplete="off" />
