Why is the password not saving in Webflow when I publish the site?

One possible reason why the password is not saving in Webflow when you publish the site could be due to caching issues. Web browsers often cache website data, including form submissions, to improve loading speed. This caching can sometimes cause the browser to remember old form data and not update it with new entries.

To address this issue, you can try the following solutions:

  1. Clear your browser cache: Clearing the cache will force the browser to fetch the latest version of your website and disregard any saved form data. Each browser has a different method for clearing the cache, but you can usually find this option in the browser's settings or preferences.

  2. Disable caching during development: If you are still in the development stage and frequently making changes to your website, you can temporarily disable caching altogether. Within the Webflow Designer, you can go to Project Settings > Hosting and toggle the "Disable browser default caching" option. Remember to turn this option back on when you are ready to publish the final version of your site.

  3. Use a private browsing window: Opening your website in a private browsing window can also help avoid caching issues. Private browsing modes, such as Incognito in Chrome or Private Browsing in Firefox, do not save any form data, cookies, or cached files.

  4. Use a different browser or device: Sometimes, the issue may be specific to a certain browser or device. Try accessing your website on a different browser or device to see if the password-saving problem persists. If it works fine on other browsers or devices, it could indicate that the issue is related to your primary browser's settings.

By implementing these solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of passwords not saving in Webflow when you publish the site.
