According to the html spec, elements with a tabindex of 0 appear last in the tab order of the document, so you are tabbing past the last element, at which point the location bar is focussed and after tabbing a couple more times you reach the first element in the tab order (password).

Changing all tabindex's to be >0 would get what you are looking for.
