echo 'current_form=loginForm&next=%2Findex&[i][i][i][i][i][i][i][i]username=tt1ect&password=ikesma&action_login=Log+In&session_token=6YSXBc7nvWh8vSlmLarlQ0YXh2h8MTIyOD gzMTQwOQ%3D%3D' | tr '&' '\n' | awk -F'=' '/username|password/ {print $2}'

This produces:
tt1ect
ikesma

You can separate them with separate regex's in awk if you need to.
