@jvaltrick All major browsers ignore autocomplete=off if the form contains username/password fields. Please don't create issues based on automatic security scans, especially if you don't understand the output.

Hello, I don't know what world you live, but on real world there are somethings called security certifications and they require some requisites based on facts acknowled. My intention was just contribute to project, but by I see the same isn't open to suggestions or corretions.

About this: "All major browsers ignore autocomplete=off"

Following your line of reasoning: All criminals break into houses, almost all thieves break down doors, so I don't need any more doors or locks?

Yet: "Please don't create issues based on automatic security scans, especially if you don't understand the output."
I understand the output, as well as I understand that good practices and suggestions from different entities must be followed, which you don't seem to understand.
