Hmm, it would seem that the password field is being set as active straigth away, hence why it pops up, and whatever you write is set as the password.

  {showLoginForm && <LoginForm />}
  {showPasswordForm && <PasswordForm />}

I think both showLoginForm and ShowPasswordForm are true, and since the Field for the password in PasswordForm has autoFocus it focus straight into the password field without showing it.

@tgolen you seem familiar with this code what do you think?

I do feel this could be an External since it's mostly an UX issue

Hm, sounds like an interesting investigation. I agree with external. Let's get it over there and see if someone can find a more definitive root cause of the problem. Off the top of my head, I don't know why both showLoginForm and showPasswordForm would be true. But I also haven't looked at that code in a while.
