Comment (by devsahadat):

 Thank you for reporting this issue and for the proposed fix.

 I’ve thoroughly reviewed the bug report and analyzed the patch provided in
 PR #8223. The issue stems from password fields remaining in text mode when
 a form is submitted, which could lead to unintended password autofill
 behavior. The proposed fix correctly resets the input type to password
 upon submission, mitigating this risk.

 Testing & Verification

 I have tested the patch in the following scenarios:
         •       Login Page ✅
         •       Add New User Page ✅
         •       Edit User Page ✅

 In all cases, the password field correctly reverts to password upon form
 submission. This aligns with best practices, such as those recommended by
 the UK Government Design System.
