If you edit the password with the typo version, then the typo effectively becomes the truth and you don't make a typo anymore, thus don't have to correct the typo anymore.
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.
Doesn't matter, either way they'll eventually sell my info or get hacked and have it stolen. These days a sticky note on your monitor is hilariously more secure.
I'm in this picture (not god) and for once it doesn't feel that bad.

What are you afraid of? Karma doesn't exist.
That is when the Zen master hits you with a stick and you get enlightened.

C'mon roll them dice
I delete all except one letter, and that letter is I. Good luck guessing whether it's an l or an I tho
Copy and paste it into a word doc and change the font
Dammit now I need to change my password
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!
Can't get to my password manager without logging into it and the OS.
Don't you have multiple devices, most of which are unlocked with a fingerprint or a PIN? Literally a non-issue.
Yeah, because 1 company having every password to every account you own has proven SO safe in the past.
Which company? Ever heard of KeePass?

Just write all you passwords in a lockable diary. Everyone knows its rude to read another person's diary
What? Check the app, it cannot sell anything and there's nothing to steal. Man...
If you trust that, I have a bridge to sell you.
Google keepassxc or pass on linux
