There are many ways to circumvent password saving restrictions if the 
enforcement is supposed to happen on the client side.

Some years back I used xdotool[1] to manage keyboard input and mouse 
movements to automate otherwise unautomateable things. While it's a 
crude approach, it could be easily used to automate password typing and 
mouse clicks. I'm sure similar tools are available for Windows.
