AngularJS and Password Managers: Can’t we all just get along?

Something similar happens with Backbone.js too. For example, try using LastPass on this Javascript app:

The event handler captures the form submit and then posts using AJAX. Lastpass probably thinks the request was canceled by some Javascript validation because it never asks to remember your password.

I'm unfamilar with Backbone.js's implementation, but AngularJS checks to see if the current browser supports the new html5 "input" event. If it does, that is the event it listens on. The plugins however don't necessarily fire this event, instead using the older "change" event. It could be similar to that.
