When you fill in a username/password combo and it pops up offering to save it as a login for you, it just doesn't know that there's a username field.
When you revisit that entry in the future. Like possibly the far future when your one-year-long session finally expires, you'll find out you only have a password.
Pretty bad UX. The popup that has [Cancel] [Save] should just show you the username and blotted out password for you to confirm.
I have a few entries where I was so paranoid that I said fuck it and copied my password right into the name of the website entry. So I'm wondering if there's a case where it only saves the username and not the password because it doesn't detect it? I just haven't registered for a website in a long time so I only remember the one case.
If you haven't encountered it, you're just lucky or, more likely, haven't yet noticed. ;)

So that's the weak point it seems. Hell, I don't even have the browser plugin installed.
