Comment (by Boniu91):

 We were testing this ticket today on test scrub. I was able to see:
 1. That the password field is focused and active after visiting the page
 2. When saving settings, browser asks whether it should save the password.
 Unfortunately, if we agree, the password will be used by the browser for
 the `wp-login.php` access. I believe we should not allow saving this
 password as it can later cause confusion.
