Comment (by sami.keijonen):

 > Users enter (555) 555-5555 but the form is only designed to use
 555-555-5555

 That's a good and proper use case for placeholder, but for phone number.
 In the login form there are only username/email and password fields.

 For password field there is no use for placeholder. For username field
 placeholder `email at example.org` might work but we decided against it in
 yesterday `a11y` meeting.

 - User knows own email. If not, placeholder would not help.
 - You can also enter username which is hard to give hint via placeholder
 in the same time as email.
 - All the reasons mentioned in the this ticket.
