Re: Symptoms vs. Causes

None of the systems I mentioned (TLS-PSK, SRP, PwdHash) has this
problem--provided that the user actually uses the new authentication
method and doesn't type his password into some Web form. But of 
course that's a UI problem, not a protocol problem.
  
      
and IMHO, any solution that doesn't let the user type his password into
some Web form is a non-starter,
both for reasons of backward compatibility and because sites (quite
legitimately) want to provide a
visually attractive interface to users which is consistent across all
platforms (for support reasons).
    

This may well be true. 

However, I'm not aware of any technique which both meets this constraint
and is phishing resistant.
  
nor I.  but the first step in solving an unsolvable problem is realizing
what you're up against.
