Really? Not here.
Wait... wait... on Windows XP, there is a _one pixel_ difference in the
widths. It's probably a design mistake in IE, so and maybe they'll fix it.
Maybe you can submit a bug report

Is this a problem, seriously? Whose problem? You are setting up login form,
not creating a piece of art, right?
But of course there are solutions and workarounds:
- Use input type="text" for both. This may improve security, and it surely
improves usability.
- Set explicit width, e.g. (CSS code)
input.loginform { width: 6em; }
- Set the font to monospace, which is a good idea anyway and seems to
magically make the one-pixel difference vanish:
input.loginform { font-family: Courier New, monospace; }
