It's mildly annoying, but I don't consider it a deal breaker and think the behavior is fine. The added complexity to work around it wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. It can be made a little less jarring by selecting a color that's in between the "password being typed" and "password is incorrect" colors. > Attached you find the patch that adds this feature. What do you think? I think this patch works well. Thank you, Eric
