Re: ACTION-2079: Draft ¨host language should¨ language for password that they should restrict elements it can apply to, with input from minutes of 2 june 2016 meeting (Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group)

Recommendation that host languages restrict where password can be used:

http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/ACTION-2079/aria/aria.html#password

    Using the |password| role on elements that would not accept
    passwords could create a security risk in conforming user agents,
    prompting users to enter a password in an inappropriate place where
    it could be accidentally exposed. Therefore, host languages /SHOULD/
    restrict use of the |password| role to elements that accept text
    input from users, and only when within a form submission context.
