Motivation
Plone's login sequence is convoluted and dates back to the bad old days of Plone 1. The UI is not great and could use some polish. There are small bugs (came_from messes up if it has a query string, reloading the login_password page kicks you out of the login sequence) and some UI things that would be nice (better validation for login_password, single link to log in for the initial password).
Proposal
Plone's login sequence needs to be rewritten to clean up some convoluted code and to leverage CMFFormController.
Implementation
The rewrite will probably break customized login forms / scripts. I don't think there's a good way around this. Adapting existing stuff shouldn't be hard.
