Bug Description

Sign-in page contains a random string in its path that makes each URL unique. (E.g., https://login.launchpad.net/djslsNVPJhMzvKfP/+decide.) This confuses the password manager in my browser, rekonq (and possibly others), because the passwords are keyed on the URL of the form so it can't recognize the saved password for the page.

This could probably be fixed if the URL of the form submission was constant, and the random string included as a form field.
