The number of times i realized half way that I probably posted the wrong password and so I vigorously type the 'delete' key to reset the input is too damn high

Get out of my head, lol :)

But yeh, never thought this was a problem anyone else delt with. My passwords are all a variant of my on "master password" and sometimes forget which session I'm in so trying to save keystrokes, count backward to where I think the cursor should be.

The number of times I've posted my sudo password in a random slack channel instead of my terminal is not very high, but too damn high nonetheless
