This is the behavior of the browser (some would even argue expected). Django would need to rename those fields in order for this autofill feature not to kick in. I don't think that renaming the fields is a good idea, because it would mean unexpected field names in the admin.
It is the browser providing those credentials. You can file a bug with Mozilla or Debian, but I would guess they would state that it is expected. The field's name is password
, if you store your password
in the browser, when another field on the site is named password, it autofills it.

You can always set autocomplete="off"
as an HTML attribute on the username and password fields within the Admin section; we do so on such fields in our Django apps.
It sounds like your problem is with iceweasel, and it's definitely not to do with Django, so you need to file a bug report on their bug tracker. Cheers.
