User Story

Some options discussed:
* Context menu item
* Option in autocomplete only when manually opened by the user with the down arrow
* Icon in the password field

If an <input> DOES NOT have autocomplete="new-password", we don't have a strong signal that password generation is relevant for the field (e.g. this could be a login form) and so we should be more cautious about offering generation to the user.

Hi Ryan, can you decide which UI we want to go with for manually opening the generation UI when we don't have confidence we're on a new password field?

We'll start with the context menu for now.
