It's not quite complete without code on the password reset page to tell you that you can't reuse your password.
And label the text box "username" when it only accepts email address.
Don't forget to have hidden password requirements and secretly truncate any password longer than 12 characters.
Well yeah, if you don’t truncate the password to 12 chars how will you fit the plaintext in a memory efficient fixed latin1 CHAR column that only accepts letters, numbers, and underscores

Battle.net used to not be case-sensitive for passwords, back in like the pre-wow era.
Intresting. At least they got their act together, even making a physical totp authenticator in the 2000s.
