Some browsers may try to fill in form fields for you, depending on how they are configured. Specifically when editing the user profile - password page of various users, it may be filling your username or password into the fields. Though the page is already programmed not to do this, some browsers may still fill in these fields. To prevent this, you can turn off Auto-complete in your browser settings.
In Chrome...
Go to Settings, autofill and turn off the password autofill mode
In Internet Explorer...
Try going to Internet Options, which can be found in the Tools menu. Then go to the Content tab. In the Autocomplete section, click the Settings button. Then try un-checking ‘Forms’ and ‘User names and passwords on forms’. After saving the settings, you may need to close and re-open the browser to get the new behavior – not sure.
In Safari...
For Safari go to Safari | Preferences | Autofill. Then click Edit for Usernames / passwords. Removing it will drop it.
