    For me, it’s usually for passwords that I have in my muscle memory. I’ll typo, instinctively reach for backspace, and continue typing. As soon as I think about what I just wrote, no chance of continuing.

    Of course, the password being in muscle memory also means continuing typing, even if it ends up being wrong, is basically just as fast as deleting the password.

    I have a non-tactile mechanical keyboard so sometimes I fat finger a couple keys. I regularly just delete the last 2 characters I typed and redo it and it works more often than not. But it still feels anxiety inducing.

    Probably a full overlap with people that have fully functional keyboards.

    I finally gave up and just set a wireless keyboard on top of the built in keyboard.

    I understand that it’s a meme and all, but, guys and gals, please, use a secure password manager and never type a password again!
