Try this:

Get webview settings with .getSettings() and set this method setSavePassword(false)

public void setSavePassword (boolean save)

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setSaveFormData(boolean)

For those using API Level 18, please see Kirk Hammet's answer below.
