Ask HN: HN's login page and password manager autofill issue

https://news.ycombinator.com/login

My password manager can't tell the difference between the login username text box and the new account username text box.. It fills in both, then sends an enter command, activating the button for new account.

I am a tester, not a developer, but I observed that the name id on both text boxes are the same. Maybe change the new account username form "name" to "new-acct-username" and the password managers might handle it better?
