That requires you to have four raw_input() calls instead of two.  And 
what purpose does adding the two new clauses to the while test serve? 
How is:

while not username or not password or username != "john doe" or password 
!= "fopwpo":

different from:

while username != "john doe" or password != "fopwpo":

(other than taking more time and space, and being harder to read) ?
