How can I prevent sensitive information, such as the username and password, from being exposed in the Form Data section of the inspect element feature in a .NET web application, as depicted in the image below?
I have taken several measures to address this concern, including:
- Utilizing the declaration to secure the form.
<form id="form1" runat="server" method="post"> - Enforcing the use of HTTPS (secure HTTP) for enhanced security.
- Adding the configuration in the web.config file to safeguard ViewState information.
<pages enableViewState="true" viewStateEncryptionMode="Always" />
Despite implementing these strategies, the issue persists, and the sensitive data is still visible in the Form Data section during a successful login.
