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"
}}}
