(React) UI Components don't support password managers

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Browsers don’t recognize the input elements as Auth related.

-> No “password suggestion” on during account creation -> No autofill during sign in -> No prompt “save password?” during sign in

I’m not sure what details are necessary for this to work, but I tried setting the name attribute and others through formFields. But that didn’t help solve this issue. (https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/form-styles-that-chromium-understands)

-> Form is not part of a “form” element -> The “sign in/up” buttons aren’t labelled as type “submit”

Personally, I don’t think this should be labeled as a feature-request, this is a bug. Users are really confused about this.

Currently, there is no point in using the password component.

This is a blocker for us (and probably most people) to upgrade our version of Amplify without a workaround. Looks like this bug seems to have been there for a while, any news on when it will be fixed?
