Comment (by joedolson):

 Looking at the [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/2273/files#r831768359 PR and the comments on it], I think
 this is mostly good; but in my opinion the database password field needs
 to be left as autocomplete="off".

 The database password is mostly a one-time use password, and unlikely to
 be represented in a user's keychain, so 'current-password' is most likely
 to suggest an invalid password, if it offers anything, and I don't believe
 'new-password' would ever offer a valid suggestion, since this is not a
 password-generating field.
