Problem with Browser Auto-Fill of Fields

We are having an issue with the Browser automatically filling Email and Password type EDIT fields. This includes if you have a page which on open is reading a database and filling these fields. For example, we have a user page where they Set a PIN code for other uses. When we open the page, the field is initially filled with the current PIN from the database record (in a Password type Edit control). The problem is that the browser sees this as a password and fills with the autofill value (say that they saved for logging into the website). So now on save of the page the user unknowingly is changing this PIN/Password.

Is there a way to disable the browser Auto-Fill for fields or a a page? If not, then we have to avoid using the masks and edit types like email and password. The latter is especially annoying since we have a need to mask some sensitive data.

We have already tried turning off Auto-Completion for the fields.
