What if password fields had a "bitbucket" mode where they swallowed all input and overwrote it with "xxxxxxxxxxx"? Then instead of "a huge change" from an onblur event, when the email is checked for login type, conventional username/password users just have their password field turn off bitbucket mode. No one reveals their password to the provider. Everyone is happy -- but only in this hypothetical future world where browsers have this new functionality.

The bitbucket entry field soaks the information up, and it's never revealed. Most of the time, when they enter the login, the password field can disappear in that case. Or is there something I'm missing?
