New Outlook.com (Hotmail) sign-in page : Autofill/Autocomplete not working?

Hi,

We apologize for not being able to address your concern in a timely manner.

I would like to inform you that, the auto-complete feature has been fixed for the new login page in the backend. I suggest you to check and revert if it doesn’t work.

Please feel free to contact us, if you need any further help we would be glad to assist you.

Hi Harshavardhan.

Nope.

STILL not working, I've just tried it.

And we still don't know what you mean by "revert". Is it a typo of "report"?

Anyway, I'm reporting that it is not working.

This really needs sorting, and quickly please.

Hi Harshavardhan.

This is really getting to be an insane response.  We are all following this thread and see the answers??? you post.  How many time do we all have to "report" that this is not working.  I don't care if they have said it is working in the backend, it the client facing piece we are all talking about.  If you do not know the differance pass this on to someone that understand the issue.

Microsoft has NOT fixed this problem (and I do not think they ever will), but if you use Firefox as your browser, and you are comfortable installing a free browser extension that runs user scripts, then you can enable auto-complete on the Microsoft Sign On page.

Search for and install Greasemonkey ... it is a free browser extension for Firefox that runs user scripts.

Once Greasemonkey is installed, then install the following script into Greasemonkey:

// ==UserScript==

// @author         langware

// @version        1.0.0

// @name           Enable auto-complete in MS Sign-on page

// @include        https://login.live.com/\*

// @date           May 9, 2016

// @run-at         document-idle

// @grant          none

// ==/UserScript==

var elmLink = document.getElementById("i0281");

if (elmLink != null)

    {

    elmLink.removeAttribute("autocomplete");

    }

The easiest way to install a script is to copy the above code into a notepad window. Then save the file on your hard drive (somewhere where you can easily find it) with a name like: Enable_Autocomplete.user.js

Then open Firefox to a blank page, and also open File Explorer to the location where you saved the above script. Finally, drag and drop the above script's file from the File Explorer window to the blank page in Firefox. You will get a pop-up asking to install the script.

If at any point you want to remove the script, open Firefox, click Tools > Add-ons. When the add-ons tab opens, click User Scripts (in the left column) and click the button labeled REMOVE next to the entry for the above script.

With the script installed and enabled, just be sure that you do not have the Firefox option set to clear history when you exit .... and after signing on to Outlook once (and entering your email address into the input box so that Firefox will remember your email address) ... the next time you sign on, and start typing the first character of your email address into the input box, Firefox will auto-complete it for you.

Thanks go out to user schmactor who posted the original code for this script.

Hi Harshavardhan,
