Comment:

 My patch adds required attribute to all fields. I suggest not adding
 type="email" right now as that would force HTML to validate the field for
 email address only and a username could not be used. The only way around
 this would be to add novalidate to the <form> tag which defeats the
 purpose of HTML5 validation.
