I agree with you. That was a quick and dirty solution. If you really want
your user case and also want a good UX experience for the unlogged in user,
you can consider using some JQuery, maybe .focus() on the first field of
the form to trigger some the login function. This would save the un-logged
in user from useless keystrokes or use $().onClick() function on the submit
function.
