I want to turn autofill off - I can't log into a site because autocomplete keeps putting in the wrong text.

I want to log into a website using a user name, lets say 'john' but the auto-complete feature keeps changing my entry to 'John.'

I don't want 'John' -- I need 'john' to enter the site, but I cannot see a way of turning the autocomplete feature off. Frankly at this point I would prefer to always have autocomplete off and just fill in user names and passwords individually.

How do I turn off autocomplete?

Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.

Remove saved Password(s): Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
