Its a browser-option, and yes you have no control over it, however as a substitute method you replace your mail sign in method with custom html form, and can take 2 text fields, txtUser and txtPass submit them to http://<txtUser>:<txtPass>@mail.domain.com/MailApplication/ thru JavaScript and also set <form autocomplete=off .....> in html form for security. Good luck, M.

Regardless of the authentication method, there is always an option in the login dialog to 'Save this password in your password list', which seems to be browser driven. I don't want my user population saving their passwords to various computers all over the world. Does anyone have a clue how to remove or disable this option? David M.
