ParticipantHi, I’ve just been trying out Simple Membership plugin for my website, which I have been developing using localwp. So far it seems to do what I need, but there seems to be a major security problem, unless I am doing something wrong.
When I logout out them try to log back in again using a member (subscriber) id, in the login form the admin user id and the password is still visible rather than a blank login form?
Has anyone had this and know how to fix it so the login form is blank?
Unfortunately I can’t attach a screenshot in this forum to show you what I mean.

ModeratorThis issue occurs because you are using a misconfigured, or unsupported, page caching plugin. Please check, to see if your page caching plugin is supported and properly configured.

ParticipantI saw another post of something similar, where it was suggested it was a caching plugin. But I dont use any caching plagins. So I made a minimal working example, and I tested it in another browswe, and the problems wasn’t there. I also checked my original site in another browser and also no problem.
So now I think it was just the normal browser behaviour remembering what was entered previously. So no issue, it is resolved. Sorry if I wasted your time.

ModeratorBrowsers cache pages too. What browser was the issue?

ParticipantHi
It was Google Chrome (on a Mac). It is actually a useful feature to remember the password, to save retyping it. It just confused me when I migrated my site and the password was still there. But it is not a big. Just =switching to Firefox aand the user id and password were replaced by a blank screen. I didn’t check if Firefox then remembered the paassword or not, since I was not worried about it any more.
It was stupid of me not to check this, but hopefully helpful to report it so others tryingout your excellent software an be aware of it.
