Description
It seems that most new browsers doesn't save passwords for forms submitted in iframes, which causes LoginForm to not save the passwords any more. As reported in the forum, Firefox is the only modern browser in which LoginForm currently works as expected: https://vaadin.com/forum/-/message_boards/view_message/1040420

Should definitely be deprecated with a good message explaining why and what should possibly be used instead (new TextField?). #8171 covers a new solution that could replace this.

Sounds nasty. It would be great to know if the issue can be fixed at all. If not, perhaps LoginForm should be deprecated. Should it be mentioned in the documentation that LoginForm doesn't work properly for most browsers?
