  • rename "Authentication Approaches" to "Login forms" - the former implies that this section will start to list approaches, when in fact it simply talks about login forms
  • tweak the language to better cover/differentiate user agents and third-party password managers
  • explicitly mention things that would not be acceptable - preventing browser/password managers from automatically populating fields, or stopping copy/paste
  • remove ambiguity about pasting OR auto-filling in F109 test step; this failure technique is in fact orthogonal to what is being discussed in Clarification: is browser autocomplete *alone* sufficient as a mechanism for accessible authentication? #3550 - the point of this failure technique is about the format of the entry, not about pasting versus auto-filling, but removing this apparent ambiguity should help

Closes #3550
