They may still have @autocomplete and provide hints for which profile to use but we should never modify the value of them.

I can't tell - does this mean hidden fields could still auto-fill? There's a well-publicized phishing vector in that case: https://github.com/anttiviljami/browser-autofill-phishing

Looks like we are already doing that in form history/password manager. Please reopen if I'm mistaken.
