Your example works for me with Google Chrome as long as I use https to
connect.
It looks like a browser security feature is removing passwords over
unencrypted Internet connections. I did not investigate further.

Another, even safer solution would be to change your login form to
replicate what xpra's connection dialog does and not use GET or POST at
all for sending the configuration options.
You can place the options in the browser's "sessionStorage" area using
Javascript and the password will never be sent across the Internet.

Cheers,
