Solution 2

Turn off the autocomplete for that textbox.

Way 1

ASP.NET

<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" autocomplete="off" runat="server" textmode="Password" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:textbox>

Way 2

JavaScript

document.getElementById('txtPassword').setAttribute('autocomplete','off');

Disable IE/Firefox remember password ?[^]

It just disables the auto complete thing(browser cache) for that particular control in the page(browser).
