Description

See https://www.twilio.com/blog/html-attributes-two-factor-authentication-autocomplete#:~:text=In%20iOS%20and%20Safari%20on,code%22%20will%20trigger%20this%20behaviour we could use autocomplete="one-time-code" for the 2FA form field.

See same blog re auto complete fields for passwords, repeat password, etc. Also explained in https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1280478276931031041

For emails and URL form fields for example we could set inputmode: https://twitter.com/IMAC2/status/1293863884537946112 . We already have FieldConfig::UI_CONTROL_EMAIL and same for URL.

We could also see if we changed inputmode for numbers and set the type back to text see https://technology.blog.gov.uk/2020/02/24/why-the-gov-uk-design-system-team-changed-the-input-type-for-numbers/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add autocomplete='one time code' to the 2FA form field. For email and URL fields, add inputmode attributes (email/url). For number fields, change type to text and set inputmode='numeric' for better mobile keyboard behavior. Test on iOS Safari and other browsers.
