Autocomplete off in django crispy form

Question

I am new in crispy form configuration. I have a django form and want to setup autocomplete = off thoughout the form. I found this attribute can be set within field widget. But instead of individual input , how can we apply whole form in a single line?

Answer 1

You can specify this at the <form> tag, for example:

<form autocomplete="off" method="post" action="some-url">
    {% crisply my_form %}
</form>

or if you work with a FormHelper, you can specify the attrs:

from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper

class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ExampleForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper(self)
        self.helper.attrs['autocomplete'] = 'off'

That being said, turning autocomplete off is sometimes a security hazard, since it sometimes forces users to use simple passwords, over more complicated ones. Therefore some browsers start to ignore this attribute.
