Password inputs
Currently the placeholder for those remains asterisks. Maybe use type="text" until it has focus.
Which browser is showing you asterisks?

Wow, I thought that browser supported placeholders natively. What happens if you disable the shiv?

Okay, check out branch 'password' and see if that does the trick for you.

Still the same issue but are you able to test it locally for yourself as I really don't trust IE to be honest with me?
I haven't fired up my vm in almost a year! I suppose I can test it here. Are you using the jQuery or the Prototype branch?

I'm using the jquery branch.

Testing in IE 8, it appears as though the type attribute is not writeable. I can only imagine this is a security feature, to keep someone from changing the type of a password field like this. A native placeholder does not behave this way, gives you a proper text view of the placeholder text even though any type you enter in the field will be obscured by bullets or stars.
The only work-around I have found is to clone the field entirely, and replace the password field with a text field, and vice-versa. This seems prone to failure. I need to spend more time on it than I currently have to work on it. I would accept a patch that followed this method.
