Well...Firefox is currently the only browser that really supports the 
AT-SPI.  As the WebKit work progresses, then it too should support the 
password role.  Note also that some of this also boils down to the 
content provider marking up their content appropriately so the browser 
knows what something is.  Here's an example from CITA:

The ARIA spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/) helps provide a standard 
for people to use to mark up their content, and is what people should 
adhere to.  I know Firefox supports ARIA, but I haven't done a complete 
survey of all browsers out there to see who else does.

The ARIA FAQ is pretty useful, btw:

Hope this helps,
