I've got an issue that that is driving me crazy. When I navigate to Network-wide -> General, my Network name is automatically edited to network name that I created previously. I don't have to select the form, it just automatically changes when the page loads and then prompts me to save changes. The same thing happens when visiting the General page of a configuration template. This happens in both chrome and firefox.
This does not happen when I use the private browsing feature in firefox or icognito mode of chrome. I've deleted cookies, disabled form filling, address filling, cleared cache. I'm not sure what is filling in this form.
Solved! Go to solution.
Hmm okay. Maybe a third party password manager plugin thinking it's a user name?
That's right. Before I adjust the name, just accessng Network-wide -> General will trigger the name to change and prompt me to save changes. If I change the name back to what it should be, and click save, after the changes save and the page refreshes, it will once again automatically change and prompt me to save. The name is always the same. I'm not sure where it's auto-populating this value from or what is triggering it to auto-populate at all.
Have you cleared autofill form data? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2392709
I'm sure Firefox has something similar.
I have tried this and it didn't resolve the issue unfortunately.
Hmm okay. Maybe a third party password manager plugin thinking it's a user name?
It was LastPass! Normally when you have fields filled out by LastPass, you get their icon in the form field. Apparently that is only for passwords. I wasn't aware that LastPass was trying to perform any form field for anything other than username and password. There were a number of fields that it saved entries for like twillio, firmware updates, etc.
Ah, gotta be careful with LastPass. Someone, whose name might be Nash, once accidentally changed client VPN PSKs because LastPass was helpfully autocompleting things when I would make new Meraki cloud credential users or whatever.
Does the issue happen whe running the browser in incognito mode?
It didn't happen in icognito mode with chrome or private browsing with FireFox. The reason being that I had LastPass disabled while private browsing.
