Autofill disabled on new Microsoft login page. ANNOYING!!!

Marty,

I posted this reply earlier, but someone deleted it!!!!!

First:  No one from Microsoft (with the authority to fix this problem) reads these forums. I suggest you use the following steps to report this to someone in Microsoft ...

1. Go to this page:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/id-support
2. Click on "I am having trouble signing in"
3. A page will open where you can describe the problem signing in (i.e., auto-complete not working when typing the first few characters of your ID into the new Microsoft Account sign in page).
4. Click the Submit button.

You will get email with a case number. Then you may get email with a scripted reply telling you to enable auto-complete in your browser. Verify that auto-complete is working in your browser by signing on to other sites you use (such as netflix, gmail, facebook, etc and typing the first few characters of your ID). Then respond to the email you received and tell them that auto-complete works on other sites ... it just does not work on the new Microsoft Account sign in page. Be persistent and eventually your case will get escalated to a higher level.

Second: The fix for this problem is simple .... all Microsoft has to do is change the "autocomplete" attribute (in the Sign On Page's HTML) from "off" to "on". Unfortunately, Microsoft refuses to make this simple change (and refuses to explain why they disabled auto-complete in the first place).

If you use Firefox as your browser, and have installed the free Greasemonkey add-on (that allows user scripts to be run in Firefox), then install the following script which will fix the problem:

// ==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");

    }

Does anyone have a solution to the lack of autofill on sign in for the new Outlook?

.... and now it is all good.  Thanks again!

Glad to hear that the script is working for you.

Looks like Microsoft will never actually fix this issue, nor will they ever give us a reason why they have disabled auto-complete on the sign on page.
