The page isn't using a form submission to submit the username and password (they are using a click event on an <a>) so we don't know that the user is submitting the form. The site should be using a form submission with event.preventDefault(); and a button if they wanted normal form behaviour (e.g. submitting the form with Enter or saving passwords). Marking as invalid since things are working as designed.

If they were at least using a <button> or <input type=submit> then it may be reasonable to notice the click inside a <form> with an <input type=password> and show a dismissed doorhanger notification if this was a common pattern on websites. Doing this for clicks on <a> seems a bit weird though.
