Prevent Browser From Remembering Credentials

Hello Friends,
I came across a discussion where i found that,

if your input type is password in form field then browser will not automatically remember its value. But major modern browsers are ignoring even if we use input type as password and can also bypass "autocomplete" attribute.

I am not sure what can be the best solution for this issue. As we done want browsers to remember our credentials.

Can anyone please suggest ?

I tried this with one of the sites that I manage, and it works! Thanks for the tip!

But to be frank, I really hate sites which goes that extra mile, although I understand why that is so. As I use a password manager and generate long random passwords for each site that I can't remember, these are giving me headaches every time I see this.

In ascending order of annoyance:

Disable auto-fill / auto-complete
Disable copy-paste (when there is no auto-fill, then I need to copy/paste the credentials from password manager to the login page)
