Because autocomplete="off" does not work for password fields, one must rely on javascript. Here's a simple solution based on answers found here.

Add the attribute data-password-autocomplete="off" to your password field:

Include the following JS:

$(function(){
    $('[data-password-autocomplete="off"]').each(function() {
        $(this).prop('type', 'text');
        $('').hide().insertBefore(this);
        $(this).focus(function() {
            $(this).prop('type', 'password');
        });
    });     
});

This solution works for both Chrome and FF.
