Autocomplete input missing for MatInput

[simon-mathewson]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

MatInput should have an autocomplete input to control the autocomplete HTML attribute of the rendered input element. I need this, since there seems to be no other way to disable the browser's (e.g. Chrome's) autofill with autocomplete="off" or autocomplete="new-password".

What is the expected behavior?

A component input autocomplete which maps to the autocomplete HTML attribute of the input element.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular: 6.0.5
Material: 6.3.9

Is there anything else we should know?

Are you sure it doesn't work? It seems to be working as expected: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material2-issue-qujscl

<mat-form-field>
  <input matInput type="text" name="fname" autocomplete="off">
</mat-form-field>
