 The WCAG success criterion [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding
 /identify-input-purpose 1.3.5 (Identify Input Purpose)] requires adding
 autocomplete attributes to allow users to autofill certain fields when
 providing information about themselves. In WordPress, the relevant fields
 that lack autocomplete attributes are the first name, last name, nickname
 and email fields on the User Profile page. These could be given the
 following attributes:

 {{{
 autocomplete="given-name"
 autocomplete="family-name"
 autocomplete="nickname"
 autocomplete="email"
 }}}
