Feature proposal #7725

Improve autocomplete attribute usage
Description
Password fields should use the newer autocomplete="new-password" usage. If current password is required then that input should use "current-password". Just using "off" the browser can and in the case of Chrome will ignore it.

Other core inputs could use better autocomplete as well (e.g. username field have autocomplete="username").

Could be useful to just add a new parameter for all text based (text, password, email, etc..) fieldtypes to set the autocomplete value as well instead of forcing it.

Changed from old "off", which is confirmed ignored by browsers now, to "new-password".
