It doesn't work on all browsers, the 1st url says.
And there's a good chance it will be defeated by the user running a
bookmarklet like this:
javascript
:void((function(){var a,b,c,d;b=a=c=0;(function(e){var
f,g,h,i,j;for(f=0;f<e.length;f++){try{arguments.ca llee(e.frames[f]);}catch(k){}}g=e.document.forms;for(h=0;h<g.lengt h;h++){i=g[h];c++;if(i.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){i.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;b++;}for(j=0;j<i.length;j++){d=i[j];if(d.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){d.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;a++;}}}})(top);alert(%22Removed
autocomplete prevention\nfrom %22+b+%22 forms, %22+a+%22 form
elements\nout of %22+c+%22 possible forms.%22);})())
or this:
javascript
:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function
n(i,what){return i+%22
%22+what+((i==1)?%22%22:%22s%22)}ca=cea=cs=0;df=do cument.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit=%22%22;+ +cs;}if(x.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){x.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y= dfe[j];if(y.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){y.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;++cea;}}}alert(%22Removed
autocomplete=off from %22+n(ca,%22form%22)+%22 and from
%22+n(cea,%22form element%22)+%22, and removed onsubmit from
%22+n(cs,%22form%22)+%22. After you type your password and submit the
form, the browser will offer to remember your password.%22)})();
