there some way to have a timer in the page and have partial form results
sent back to the server, but still leave the form on the screen as-is?

Why not construct your application so that a user can enter the password again after timing out and continue? If I submit a form, and you tell me that I've timed out, I should be able to provide my password and not lose everything. You have all of the data in $_POST or $_GET. Do something with it. :-)

There may be some client-side way to handle this, but it's definitely not necessary.
