Login and Registration: Disable spellcheck for password fields.

Browse Source 
This changeset adds `spellcheck="false"` attribute to various password fields.

The spellcheck global attribute defines whether the element may be checked for spelling errors. The `false` value indicates that the element should not be checked for spelling errors, which is relevant for a password field.

Furthermore, and as per MDN specs, using spellchecking can have consequences for users' security and privacy. The specification does not regulate how spellchecking is done and the content of the element may be sent to a third party for spellchecking results. Thus, it is recommended to set `spellcheck` attribute to `false` for elements that can contain sensitive information. Which is the case for password fields.
