IPhone default browser uppercase for password first letter fields

Question

I am writing a login page for the mobile version of my webapp, and I have a simple HTML password field, for example:

<input id="password" type="password" /> 

The only problem is that the iPhone Safari browser smoothes the first letter of the default input, which confuses my users as the password is case sensitive and they don’t always understand that it is.

Does anyone know a method, tag, or otherwise, to stop this, and force the iPhone input to lower case, unless the user specifies otherwise? Or is it just a platform feature that cannot be changed?

Answer 1

 <input type="text" name="test1" autocapitalize="none"/>

Answer 2

You can disable autocomplete and autocapitalization for password and email fields.

Here's what my view looks like:

 <input autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" id="email" name="email" type="text"> <input autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" id="password" name="password" type="password">
