Bug Description
On more than one occasion I have been unable to focus on the password field. I typed my password in but it didn't appear. Eventually I managed to get focus on the password field, and unlocked. When I did, I found the active window had a copy of my password and some other keys I mashed only during the lock screen.
Just had a friend confirm this happened to them.
We shouldn't allow keypresses to leak through from the lock screen.
