@makehacklearn "no resources" is a significant overstatement.

@BrandonLive Well, they're setting AutoComplete=OFF too, so I think their intent is clear even if they didn't deliberately target IE11.

@BrandonLive The reality is that any website that doesn't want the browser's password manager to work has myriad ways to ensure that.

@BrandonLive They're just bits. But no, probably not without significant side-effects and frailty.

@jeremiahg Seatbelts save lives, even if they let drivers get more careless. And besides, most software devs couldn't get any more careless.

@BrandonLive Fidelity is using JavaScript to manipulate the input boxes.

@BrandonLive I'm hoping they'll blog about the algorithm. Pre-population occurs on unframed HTTPS pages with no cert errors/mixed content.

@patmeenan Interesting, thanks. Would love to see a "direct to transcribed voicemail" option.

@BrandonLive Which, the password manager? Or something else? There are clickjacking defenses in its behavior.

@DrPizza Lots of opinions on that. I think many people would freak out if CC's were stored unexpectedly. Password manager asks before save.

@DrPizza Sorry. Password Manager (username/password) ignores AutoComplete attribute. It's still respected on text fields (e.g. Credit card#)

@DrPizza To be clear, it does so for password fields only. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/09/11/troubleshooting-stored-login-problems-in-ie.aspx …

@markhachman: IE11 doesn't run on Windows 8.

@DrPizza There are a few more deltas between IE11 on Win7 and on Win8.1; I summarized here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2013/09/24/internet-explorer-11-changelist-change-log.aspx …

Official IE11 download page's download *still* blocked by "File download blocked" goldbar. Adware-laden installer downloads immediately. Sad
