One or the other should be selected. Right now, selection stays where it was (so if you were server url, it would stay there). That's suboptimal. I'd say that since you're more likely to get password wrong, we should focus that.

We might actually be able to detect wrong user vs wrong password and we could expose that: http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/weave/file/6f00901b8e6e/source/modules/service.js#l523 I believe 404 is wrong user and 401 is wrong password in this case.

We can do one better and validate the username after tab, and warn that the user doesn't exist even before the user sends us a password!

We no longer expose a login concept.
