[Bug 1499164] [NEW] Don't autofill password reset field on user settings page

 

Public bug reported:

Every time I go to my account settings screen to change something,
Firefox always pre-fills the first of the two password fields for the
"reset your password" functionality. And so, if I don't go in and
manually clear the field, then it gives me a form validation failure
when I try to submit, because the two password fields don't match.

We need to put a flag on these fields that tells the web browser not to
pre-fill either of them.
