> So the chrome feature is that Chrome will override the page's request to prevent autocomplete? :)  Is this because pages are explicitly trying to prevent form-fill, or because they're trying to force the user to type their password, or both?

It's because we are working on a new chrome feature that will automatically generate random passwords for users during account sign up. For these passwords, it doesn't make sense if we don't save and autofill them even if autocomplete=off. So in chromium code, we will only respect autocomplete=off for normal user chosen passwords, and ignore it for chrome generated passwords. Hope this helps :)
