 When I reset my password via the "Lost your password?" link on the login
 screen, my password manager doesn't prompt me to update my existing login
 credentials for that site. It's a really easy way to lose your new
 password.

 Tested with:

 * 1Password in Chrome on macOS
 * Firefox built-in password manager on macOS

 At a minimum, WordPress should work with the most popular password
 managers, including 1Password, LastPass, and the password managers built
 into Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, on desktop and mobile.

 * What can WordPress do to maximise compatibility with password managers
 when resetting a password?
 * Are there additional HTML attributes or hidden fields that should be
 implemented into the password reset process?
 * Is the automatically generated password part of the problem?
