Hi gang!
You know the login dialog. Enter correct password, there’s the Desktop. Almost instantaneously on my system.
However, if I type the WRONG password, macos seems to be really thinking hard about it. 2 or 3 seconds at least, before it decides that it was the wrong password.
Why would the engineers at Apple add that delay, even for the first incorrect password attempt? The actual verification of the password will take the exact same time whether it’s right or wrong. I know, 1st world problem, but kinda annoying. Most times, I already know that I mis-typed it just as I hit Enter…
A small annoyance, but I am mostly curious as to the reasoning behind this design decision.
Thanks!
