After hours of searching, I came up with my own solution, which seems to work in Chrome and Safari (though not in Firefox or Opera, and I haven't tested IE). The trick is to surround the password field with two dummy fields.

Here's the CSS I used:

.stealthy {
  left: 0;
  margin: 0;
  max-height: 1px;
  max-width: 1px;
  opacity: 0;
  outline: none;
  overflow: hidden;
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  z-index: -1;
}

Note: The dummy input fields can no longer be hidden with display: none as many have suggested, because browsers detect that and ignore the hidden fields, even if the fields themselves are not hidden but are enclosed in a hidden wrapper. Hence, the reason for the CSS class which essentially makes input fields invisible and unclickable without "hiding" them.
