Question

I’m automatically signing users into a login-form using JavaScript within a WebView. Once the form is (automatically) submitted, the ususal “Do you want the browser to remember this password?” appears, which I would like to suppress, as the login should happen automatically.

I have tried
webView.getSettings().setSavePassword(true);
webView.getSettings().setSaveFormData(true);

to no avail.

Answer 1

I solved this by using

webView.getSettings().setSavePassword(false);
webView.getSettings().setSaveFormData(false);

which (in my opinion) is pretty counter-intuitive, but gets the job done, as it specifically doesn’t request the user to save the form data (and also doesn’t save it).
