Details

Fields which are used for entering a new password (including the confirmation field) should have autocomplete=new-password whereas fields used to log in should have autocomplete=current-password. If <input type=password> is ever used for one-time codes then autocomplete=one-time-code should be used.

The new-password and one-time-code values hint to the password manager not to autofill an existing login (it will still autocomplete in the short term) while one-time-code will eventually prevent the value from being saved in form history too (bug 1547294).
