Can we add a style (or… do whatever other magic is appropriate) to this field to explicitly _not_ trigger password managers here?

Hmm yeah frustratingly it seems 1Password is trying to be smart and triggers this when the input has “name” in its name, so this gets picked up even though we call it `link-name`… it seems even partial matches like `link-displayName` will trigger it

`data-1p-ignore`… aaarrrghhh is there no generic class that works for all password managers to say “ignore this field”? ☹
