Comment (by joedolson):

 The patch as marked for commit only covers the original reported case,
 setting the username after a password reset. There were four other cases
 mentioned above that could be addressed.

 Two of those are cases that I don't think should be done; the other should
 possibly be addressed elsewhere.

 The other three cases are:

 1) Username field after successful installation.

 This should be done, but can be addressed as a separate ticket.

 2) Username field after a failed login.
 3) Password field after a failed login.

 I don't think there's any real value to restoring values that have already
 been demonstrated to be invalid. If we only restored valid values, we'd be
 revealing secure information in a dangerous way, but the combination of
 values is already definitely *not* correct. Because of this, I don't think
 restoring this information is useful or helpful.
