It's even worse for password fields. Browsers will aggressively attempt to fill the user's password into any password input, regardless of whether it's part of the site's login form or not. This works for most web sites, most of the time -- but it fails horribly for sites where the user really does need to enter a password for something else, like if you're setting a password on a wireless network or setting credentials on a new user you're creating.
