So your users has been registered. They have gone through the pain of logging in on a mobile phone and you want them to authenticate more easily next time round, so that they don't give up on using your web app.
The solution : HTML5 Local Storage. In the code below, I take the username and password, and put them in localstorage variables. When the (login) page is visited again, I check to see if those localstorage variables exist. If they do, I add them as values to the username and password field, and perform a submit.
Enjoy!

Submit Form with Loader
I achieve 2 objectives with the form below.
The first is that I use jQuery to capture the user hitting the enter key after adding the password. By using jQuery, this works in all browsers.
The second thing I deliver is a 'loading...' image when the form has been submitted. It stays there until we have a result from the target PHP script, authenticate.php. Your authenticate.php could look something like this
<?php
echo 'Who are you?';
?>
You could also pass parameters to the PHP and do it properly. See http://effectivewebdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/10/send-form-information-to-php-through.html
BTW, you'll also have to create your own loading.gif
See demo.
