Okay, this is my last post on this subject. You should all know how I
feel by know...
But as always, I disagree with you. It does not only make sense on a
per-user option. It makes sense to implement it on password forms (remember
we don't want to disable autocomplete of everything, only for passwords)
for all users at a site as a method of enforcing site policy. And making
it a site configuration option would allow for this.
That's my final comment.

can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
