(Whiteboard: [PasswordManager])

Due to security concerns, desktop and Android have moved away from autofilling HTTP sites. We should only autofill on HTTPs to be more secure and consistent.

We discussed this in the funnel review, and identified dependencies before this ships: * We need to make it easy to fill logins; a long-press context menu, for example. * We should support autocomplete, too. This is a security/usability tradeoff, and we fall on the usability side: simply disabling autofill looks like we're actively breaking the web. As such, I don't think this is a 2.0+, no?
I had it 2.0+ prior to the funnel meeting on Friday so I think this is 3.0+.
