Bug #9941

Enabling OpenVPN interface should not validate PPPoE passwords
0%
Description
Enabling the OpenVPN interface fails if the browser autofills a password in the hidden field PPPoE Password. The browser does not fill the password confirmation field, so the password validation fails.
The OpenVPN interface does not support different IP Configuration Types. When this issue occurs on other interface types, I can work around by choosing Configuration Type PPPoE, clearing the browser's auto-filled data, then restoring the Configuration Type. The page then validates and the configuration is updated.
I am running Chrome 78.0.3904.108. Steps to reproduce include adding an auto-fill password entry for the firewall's URL, disabling the OpenVPN interface, then attempting to enable the OpenVPN interface.

This is probably solved by #9864, if not, it's your browser auto-fill that is the problem here.

Nice fix. Thanks for the quick response.
Until the fixed version is released, an Incognito / Private / InPrivate window works quickly.
