I don't think this is strange: passwords are often muscle memory, so you don't have an exact representation of what letter went wrong only that something isn't right. It's a bit like the order of the alphabet I have to sing the sing from the beginning to find a certain letter order.

yarwest27158y@Charmgoggles mostly I don't know where it went wrong since I'm too lazy to count the letters and I can't see them cause of the password field :p
-
I could probably stop when I realized I've entered a wrong character, but I just keep going. Sometimes I'll write a few sentences or funny anecdotes just in case the server I am logging into has gained sentience and is having a bad day.

I do this all the time with those freakin hidden passwords in terminal. Fat fingers.

Especially on certain work systems where you get locked out after too many mistakes... It's too much of an embarrassment to have to call the help desk to get my account reset.

Shago3038yI see people do it even when writting non passwords texts, like emails, presentations, word docs and even on whiteboards
-
When running sudo on linux, idk where i fucked up so i just delete everything and type it again
-
Right click -> Inspect element -> replace input type="password" by type="text"...
When I'm lazy to backspace a password which is not "qwerty". -
Dacexi120368yI do ctrl+a then backspace. Saves more time as i don't know my password. It's in my muscle memory
-
Everyone saying select all and backspace....
Why??? You can ctrl+a and type your password, backspace is redundant. -
Shago3038y@FractalSystems you think you are smarter than us by saving one keystroke? Well, I have news to you sir, I paid for that keyboard and I intend to make every single key good use of my money.
Comments like these makes me lose control. -
