           Summary: character encoding in password fields is "downgraded"
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 418.x
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.web.de
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: stefanhaessler at web.de


Safari as well other browser on Mac OS X using the WebKit all have the problem
that latin-1 input in form password fields is downgraded to their nearest ascii
equivalents - typing 'pásswörd^x' into a password box actually submits
'passwordx' which is of course evaluated as a wriong password. But you can cut
and paste non-ascii in and it works fine.
This applies to password fields on ALL pages.
So writing the correct password into another form field and then cutting and
pasting it into the password field resolves the issue but then you need to type
your password into a field which doesn't hide the characters.
