Improve password fields usability by default

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.

External resources

Proposed resolution

Add spellcheck, autocorrect and autocapitalize attributes on all password fields by default to disable these features.
