On the 'Welcome to JIRA' UI I accidentally hit ENTER before entering my full username. Now this partly username is a nuisance every single time, I login.

Is it not possible to remove that?image.png

That has nothing to do with jira but with your browser.

Do a quick google search for something like "clear form data from <YOUR_BROWSER>" and follow the instructions.

It will probably be under a "privacy / security" section inside settings.

Thanks Iago

I'm using Chrome and have tried to clear history regarding form filling according to the guidelines. So far it hasn't helped, but I will give it a shoot more tomorrow :-)

I've tried to do that in Chome and it worked like a charm.

Under  settings > Autocomplete > Passwords

You should see a list with every password you've saved. Delete the one you want and you're set.

 

If you haven't saved a password but still have that autocomplete entry... maybe it is being considered a form?? (not what I've experienced but just in case)

Under  settings  > Privacy and security > Clear navigation Data

  • A pop-up appears. Make sure you select ADVANCED SETUP, by default the "basic" tab is shown.
  • TIME INTERVAL. By default only "last hour" is selected.
  • Uncheck everything except "Form autocomplete data" (or whatever name it's shown in english, I have mine in spanish)
  • Clear

That clears all saved form data, as you can see, and maybe that's not exactly what you would want but I can't think of anything else right now.

 

Hopefully that does the trick.
