 In [changeset:"60306" 60306]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60306"
 Login and Registration: Ensure a revealed password is reverted to the
 `password` input type upon form submission.

 This means if a password has been toggled to visible by the user, or is
 visible by default, it gets reverted to the `password` type to prevent
 browsers from remembering it as a previously-provided value and
 potentially displaying it as an autofill option on non-password inputs.
