To satisfy Qualys Vulnerability scanning. Even though it isn't best practice, because best practice is to use password managers to autocomplete the login fields. However, it won't be honored by the browsers (for the above reason https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Turning_off_form_autocompletion#The_autocomplete_attribute_and_login_fields), so users won't get affected. So this change is only good to silence a vulnerability scanner, it doesn't actually close a vulnerability. Closes rundeck#5205
