Browser not saving password of controller login
Login page of Omada Controller does not saving passwords on my chrome / firefox browsers.
How can we fix this? I tried everything, but it doesnt want to save the password.
Many Thanks
Hi @Barry1980
Thanks for posting here.
Restricting browsers from automatically saving passwords is primarily based on the following security considerations:
1. Preventing credential leaks:
- Passwords stored in browsers could be stolen by malware or other users on the same device, especially in shared environments like workplaces.
2. Enforcing strong authentication habits:
- Discouraging reliance on autofill reduces the use of weak or reused passwords, encouraging users to manually enter credentials to improve memory and security.
3. Controlling security boundaries:
- Since Omada Controller manages critical network devices (e.g., routers, APs), developers prefer users to log in via two-factor authentication (2FA) or dedicated clients (e.g., Omada App) rather than relying on insecure browser storage.
4. Mitigating CSRF/phishing risks:
- Autofill can be exploited by malicious pages (e.g., fake login forms), whereas manual entry forces users to verify the legitimacy of the login page.
If you really want to save your account automatically, you can try this feature in Chrome:
