 Hello

 I've reviewed Ticket and tested the patch from PR #8223. The fix ensures
 that password fields revert to type="password" upon form submission,
 aligning with best practices to prevent unintended autofill behavior. This
 enhancement functions correctly across the login, add user, and edit user
 pages.​


 {{{
 form.addEventListener('submit', function () {
     const passwordFields = form.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"][data-
 pw]');
     passwordFields.forEach(function (field) {
         field.type = 'password';
     });
 });

 }}}
