2 years ago Good catch. Do we also need to use name and/or autocomplete to cover a wider variety of password managers? https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/design-and-ux/input/forms#use_metadata_to_enable_auto-complete
Semantic annotations make web forms clearer for external apps that may interact with them. In this specific case, we are adding semantic annotations to our login and register forms to smooth interaction with password managers like Dashlane.
