How can I solve the error message "Passwords cannot be submitted" when using the Webflow platform to create a website with a form containing a password field?
The error message "Passwords cannot be submitted" in Webflow typically occurs when you have enabled the "Autofill" feature for password fields in your browser, such as Google Chrome. This feature automatically fills in forms with saved passwords, but it prevents the password field in your Webflow form from being submitted.
To solve this issue, you can try one or both of the following solutions:
- Disable Autofill for Password Fields:
- In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Autofill > Passwords.
- Toggle off the "Offer to save passwords" option.
- Alternatively, you can remove the saved password for your Webflow preview or live site.
- Reload your Webflow site and test if the error message still persists. - Use a Custom Password Field:
- Instead of using the default password field provided by Webflow, you can create a custom password field using a different input type. This can help bypass the Autofill feature.
- Delete the existing password field from your Webflow form.
- Drag and drop a new input field from the "Add" panel on the left side.
- In the field settings panel, change the "Type" of the input field to "Text".
- Give it a suitable class or ID name for styling purposes.
- Publish your site or preview it to test if the error message is resolved.
By implementing these steps, your Webflow form should no longer display the error message "Passwords cannot be submitted." Remember to thoroughly test your form after any changes to ensure it's working as expected.
