Bug 1551730 is using hasBeenTypePassword for autocomplete and autofill while bug 1625075 is for the context menu. This bug should do the same for DOMInputPasswordAdded and DOMFormHasPassword events.

I'm not actually sure what the real world benefit to this is or whether it would cause more problems than it would solve. This needs more investigation. IIRC type changes to 'password' may already be handled. We would also want to be careful to not have this event fire multiple times for the same inputs if a field is appended and then the type is toggled.
