As explained to lindsayw@ in an e-mail, I am moving these bugs to our TODO list, and reducing some unnecessary noise they cause.

Summary: password for fairfaxcu.org does not autofill (was: username and password for fairfaxcu.org does not autofill)
Let us track only filling the password in this bug.

As described in #0, the page separates username from password by one navigation. On the username-only part, Chrome's autocomplete feature kicks in and offers to fill the username on demand.

On the password-only part, there is no username input field any more; short of parsing and understanding the plain text of the page, Chrome has no way to understand what the username is and to associate it with the stored password. Hence the user can only store one password for the page, and it will be associated with "No username". This is caused by the poor security design of the page, which is thankfully an edge case. Fixing the behaviour for this edge case would involve unreasonable effort and complexity on Chrome's site, so we won't do that.

Sounds like a WontFix then. Please feel free to re-open if you think otherwise.
