Bleh, left a comment and forgot about it, bad of me.

Depends on how the fields are added/removed from the page, but if they're dynamically created (I don't think they are in this case) then they wouldn't exist at the document load time which is when the manager tends to fill in fields, to my knowledge.

While I can at least see the argument of form fields possibly being intrusive, it seems like a long stretch to me in this case. Were it a multi-field form collecting data, I get it, but for a login form on a site where 99% of the activity takes place behind that login it seems damn silly to me to hide it so much.
