Good examples are fidelity.com and online.citibank.com, which onblur, replace part of the user's username with some stars, e.g., "foobar" -> "f****r". See attached GIF for a screencap.
The current deficiency is that Firefox captures "f****r" instead of the actual username. 

One technique I've used in the past to address this is to listen to key events on the username and passwords fields and read the values of these fields into temporary storage after each key press. Then on form "submission", we prompt the user to remember the values we stashed in temporary storage instead of what was in the actual form at submission time.

I shouldn't have duped this since bug 1530814 is about not saving the garbage but we'll still want to address saving the correct values.
