Comment (by bookdude13):

 I think this is a good idea to do, my concern is
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/browser-support/
 | browser support]. Right now password values set to `autocomplete=off`
 are ignored by most browsers (since they like to offer the built-in
 password manager). `new-password` is mostly supported, but not by IE (see
 https://caniuse.com/#feat=mdn-html_global_attributes_autocomplete_new-
 password). I don't know about support for other values, but in my opinion
 new-password and current-password would be the most useful and their
 support is not high enough at this time to implement. Once browsers catch
 up or we drop IE support, then I think this should be revisited.
