Then you can replace the website "chrome"- the headers, the links back to the rest of the site- with doppelgangers that take you to a phishing page that makes it look like you've been logged out. All of those you'd expect to be internal links, so when they show you a "please log in again" screen you will have no reason for suspicion. You can't do that on Facebook today.

Alternatively, you don't need a form tag. Just show a login set of text inputs and an image that looks like a submit button. That button links you to a phishing site that says "oops! try again" and then you put your password in a second time and this time it's a real form. So you'd have to get rid of text inputs entirely.



If I understand you correctly those "you are leaving example.com" interstitial pages with a redirect are a solution to this problem. Although they are not so pleasant.
