Comment #9 on issue 23219 by js...@chromium.org: IME should be disabled in password box. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23219
The reason IME is disabled in other browsers (and *Chrome on Windows*. see issue 3234) is that in many web sites, passwords are only ASCII (or at least do not contain any characters that need to be entered with IME). In the past (before Firefox and IE did this), a lot of users scratched their heads when they keep getting 'password mismatch' error although they're more than 100% sure that they entered the correct password (I still have this problem with Mac OS X's screensaver). What happens is that they often forget to turn off IME in the password field. IE and Firefox (not on Mac, yet IIRC) support a CSS property ime-mode to give web developers the control of the behavior.
