Prevent browsers from inserting name and password

Question

Duplicate of Disable browser save password functionality

Is there a way to tell the browser not to insert pre-Saved credential data into forms on websites?

For example I might have an application where I have to login first. I saved the credentials for this login.

When I now want to create a new user account in the control panel, the browser automatically fills in the values for the name and password field, although I want to create a new user.

Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks for your answers.

Edit: I mean that the browser fills in the saved credentials when opening the site. I do not mean offering pre-filled in values for that form. But when I open the site the whole textfield and passwordfield are filled out with my data. I'm looking for a xhtml way of doing this, so it is programming related.
