First, try erasing both apps, if you have not already done so. I'm wondering if, somehow or other, the label for the field changed when you were logged out of the apps due to inactivity, so vo is now grabbing the only label (or maybe first label, or label of the element in the same position), which is now "log in". If that fails, try performing a settings reset. Go to settings, general, reset, reset all settings. You may need sighted help to enable vo after this, since it will take your triple-click home preference with it, but after that, see if the problem is resolved.
