LPT: When typing passwords, type them out fully then delete them

This is a tip I just picked up from a friend and thought I'd share here. <br><br>When typing out passwords (especially long ones, e.g. 16+ characters) I was taught to type them out fully as I see them, then delete them. For example:<br><br>1. I want my password to be "ilovecatsbutnotdogS"<br>2. I type it out as is: ilovecatsbutnotdogS<br>3. I scramble it up to something like 2tlaevoesgbcnitud<br>4. I type it out as is (double-checking that it's the correct characters in the right order): ilovecatsbutnotdogS<br>5. I delete the scrambled version and save the original string: ilovecatsbutnotdogS<br><br>The idea is that if you're typing out the scrambled version, you could accidentally type an extra letter in there. If that happens, you can easily check the original string to see if that extra letter was intentional or not. <br><br>It also helps when you want to change the password, you don't have to worry about which specific letters to swap out. Just type out the new password, check that it matches the scrambled string, and you're good to go. <br><br>I feel like this should be common sense, but I'm 23 and never heard of this until recently.
