Problem/Motivation
Today, most browsers try to help people fill the forms by offering some autocomplete related features. In the case of password fields, these could lead to usability issues (autocorrect, autocapitalize) or even to security issues (spellcheck). These features should be automatically disabled by default on all password fields.
