I didn't think of the possibility to use JS in this case. This would be
certainly a possibility, but I wonder: Would you still call it good
design? Or should I design the user interface in a different way, for
instance having two forms (one for the GET and one for the POST case)?
The latter might be cleaner from the programmer's viewpoint, but perhaps
confusing to the user.

This is a problem which I still will have to solve, when abandoning the
current Login design and use the "login" functional object you
suggested, because even then, I would have a single form which,
depending on the button being pressed, might to a creation of a Dict
object, or a retrieval...
