When logging in to this site the form requires a membership id and surname.
Password manager correctly asks if this information is to be recorded. However
what it records is wrong:

For the membership number it records '<>'
For the password it records the membership number

Subsequently it will not populate the information back into the form.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.ctc.org.uk
2. Login (for examples use membership 9004934 - this is enough to demonstrate
the bug. Enter a random surname
3. Say yes to save password
4. Check password manager and see the that the wrong info has been recorded


Actual Results:  
Wrong password info recorded. Could not use the manager to login subsequently

Expected Results:  
Recorded correct membership number and surname, then on subsequent login filled
in this info.

Recording the membership number as the password is correct: it's an <input
type="password">. The problem is that Firefox doesn't believe that usernames are
ever found after passwords, only before.
