Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-11-17 06:59:42 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Accidentally fat finger while typing your password.

OBSERVED RESULT
You messed up your password, clean the input field and try again.

EXPECTED RESULT
The password input field should have an option that would undo characters if such were created by multiple keys being pressed at a very short time.
This should solve fat fingering during password insertions.
