Public bug reported:

When I try to unlock my PC from the lock screen, I sometimes enter the
wrong password. After checking the password (which takes ~1s), the lock
screen displays the following message:

"Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again."

For ~2s after that, keyboard input is ignored, which means that if you
start typing you password immediately after reading the "try again"
prompt, the first few characters are discarded and your password is
incorrect again.

This is a bad user experience, and I'm not sure what the purpose of the
delay is.
