(Whiteboard: [passwords:heuristics]) 

We can first look for a field with the "username" @autocomplete field name and use it as the username field before looping over fields to search for a username one.

We can use the getAutocompleteInfo() chrome-only API for this. Note that this can also apply on <select> and <textarea>.
