var username = "exampleusername";

I want to support this suggestion, but I think the objection that aveleh brought up is too important to ignore.
Possible compromise is being able to click something that will fill in the username of the friendspage being viewed and then automatically put the focus in the password field, but I suspect that:
a) it will seem awkward to click and then switch to the keyboard to type in the password; and
b) it'll clutter up the navigation strip, which is small enough as it is.

Or, the infinitely easier method of going directly to the homepage, since once you've logged in, it's just one click to get to your friend page, and therefore would only add a single click to your suggestion. And the url/username letters are equivalent. But that's not nearly as cool :D

Having said that, I virtually always log in from my friends page when I'm at another PC, or at the very least my journal, and I have no real problem typing my name (and it's got more unique characters than Dave's).
Meh, optional opt in, but it's not something I'd want, especially with password manager issues.
