Clear saved password field

Something that has always annoyed me about Drupal is the fact that saved passwords populate every instance of a password field. Even if it's not your own user profile.

This issue also annoyed the team at Open.Michigan, one of our clients at Switchback. So, as part of their requests for the website was one for clearing the password field whenever an administrator tried to add a new user, or when users tried to edit their account.

This simple request made us think why this even happens. Without the appropriate knowledge of Drupal, a user admin might even end up changing another user's password to that of their own. It's a major usability issue that should have been addressed ages ago. Well, we're addressing it, then.

Hence this module.

This module simply uses jQuery to clear the password field on pages that it should show up in the first place. It will not clear the saved password on your browser; it will just clean up the field for usability purposes.
