Another dumb thing it does is, as far as I've worked it out: when you submit the login form, it uses JavaScript to hash the password, then puts that value in the password field overwriting the actual password, then (I suspect) cancels the form submission event using preventDefault, then submits the form all over again via JavaScript.
I use Safari and its built-in password management (integrated with the MacOS Keychain). Going through this process means that, when the form is finally submitted for real, Safari notices that the password is now different, and asks whether it should replace the value you currently have stored with this new value that's magically appeared. If you mistakenly agree that it should, you then have a hash of the password saved, which doesn't work, and have to go through a ridiculously convoluted procedure to reset your password again
None of this is necessary, as the connection is secured by TLS in the first placeComment
