Description (last modified by CHI Cheng)

Add autocomplete=username/email/current-password/new-password to contrib.auth builtin forms.

Pull request: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/9921

The most useful one is autocomplete=new-password, which prevents browsers prefill with current password, Chrome will also suggest a random strong password for users who turned on account sync.

Patch needs improvement: set

This seems OK/good in theory. We're a bit ahead of the curve in terms of current browser support so there's a question about when (and whether) this gets adopted.

​PR has failures that need addressing.

Just a little change in ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/9921 so tests are passed.
Do we need to add tests for it? how?

Needs documentation: set
Patch needs improvement: unset

Since this is marked as a new feature, you might want to add a line or two to the 3.0 release notes. I don't think you need to add anything to the documentation.

​PR moving autocomplete attribute into UsernameField.

comment:16 by Carlton Gibson <carlton.gibson@…>, 5 years ago

In 999891bd:

Refs #29379 -- Moved autocomplete attribute to UsernameField.

Moving the autocomplete attribute into UsernameField allows this to work
for custom forms making use of UsernameField, removes some duplication
in the code, and keeps consistency with the autocapitalize attribute
that is already defined on UsernameField.
