I have bad habit: when I type 'su', I start writing the password almost right away. If the computer is slow, the password prompt takes some time to appear. In this case, the password letters I have already written before the password prompt appeared are displayed on the screen. This is very inconvenient and bad user interface design.
A better solution would be to start reading the stdin immediately after the program is launched. This could be done in a separate thread while starting up the program. Implementing this behaviour would mean less frustration and less passwords that are forced to be changed prematurely. Will this proposal be considered?
