Comment:

 Testing this with Chrome and Firefox, the attempt to clear the password
 field doesn't always work with browser autocomplete, but it does when an
 incorrect or empty password is entered. However, even in this case the
 focus stays on the password input, not going to the username input.

 What was the original intent for the clearing of the password input? My
 suggestion would be to remove the call if it's not working and causing
 problems with autocomplete.
