While we are at it:
I'm experiencing a similar problem while editing a user in the
administration area. There is an issue for that (DSY-413) which is
marked as resolved (by SVN commit 3780), however AFAICS, the problem
persists: I just visited the demosite with a browser that hasn't seen
that site ever before. After logging in as admin, I chose to store my
password, then I went to the administration area and tried to create a
new user: the password field inside the form automatically gets filled
with "*****".

I now see in the recent commit 4072, that the password widgets are
also marked with autocomplete="off", which is not the case in commit
3780. Maybe this can eventually resolve DSY-413?

TIA
