This appears to be the same issue that was already tracked in #1035092.

Thanks for forwarding the information that a fix now exists. To start
with I'm preparing an upload of v44 for experimental. This change could
itself cause regressions, so we should not rush to get it into Debian
12 point releases before it's ready; but it can be backported into
v43 in unstable, and then from there into Debian 12, if the version in
experimental seems good.
(The Debian bug tracking system has version tracking, so please don't
interpret an upload of v44 closing this bug as meaning that the GNOME team
is no longer looking at v43: whether each branch has a particular bug is
tracked separately.)

All I can say is "please be careful what you type credentials into". If
your expectation is that focus handling will always be perfect and will
never have regressions, then I'm sorry but you are sometimes going to be
disappointed, despite compositor developers' best efforts.
