    <thetext>On the theory that strong password generation belongs in the browser, I propose that site creators be able to flag account-creation input fields, including passwords, explicitly, to improve tool-assisted security.

So, that the input element (4.10.5) include a new content attribute called &quot;newaccount&quot;, and that this be made applicable to type=password input fields (4.10.5.1.6)

Thanks.

    <thetext>This bug constitutes a request for a new feature of HTML. The current guidelines [1], rather than track such requests as bugs or issues, please create a proposal outlining the desired behavior, or at least a sketch of what is wanted (much of which is probably contained in this bug), and start the discussion/proposal in the WICG [2]. As your idea gains interest and momentum, it may be brought back into HTML through the Intent to Migrate process [3].
