I put a checkbox there to make sure that 'hey, i know what i'm doing,
let me put my username and password' rather than leaving it 'open' for
editing eventhough it won't get used. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense,
so I guess yours is alright.

Yep, ok.

Those labels are already in a SizeGroup so they're straight enough.
unless of course you want it in the glade file then table would make
sense.
