Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:4 johnbillion]:
 > I cannot reproduce this issue on Chrome 26 or Chrome Canary 29 on Win7
 or OS X.

 Reproduced by couple of people in Chrome 26 on both Win7 and OC X:
 - With the default Chrome settings, change your password on the Profile
 screen.
 - Quit the browser, start it again and go to the same screen.
 - Some of the fields including the first "New Password" field are auto-
 filled (yellow background) despite having autocomplete="off".

 This depends on what auto-fill data the browser has stored. Here it also
 fills "Jabber / Google Talk" (with a wrong value) despite that I've never
 entered anything there.

 This looks like yet another recent bug in Chrome. The worst part is that
 Chrome stores data entered in autocomplete="off" fields. If that is on a
 public computer, it breaks security.

 @SergeyBiryukov perhaps we can add `autocomplete="on"` for these fields.
 This should work according to the specs.
