Maybe a pop-up window? But that doesn't neatly fit the "never leaving 
that page" idea. I'd consider it safe if you were using a password 
that only applied to THAT site (so a malicious site couldn't use the 
credentials even if it stole them), but that sort of destroys the 
whole single-sign-on idea :)
