Lovely, by that I mean I can confirm that with the '2', I experimented with valid and invalid passwords, the problem is only happening with the number 2 in the 6th poition of my password.
My crash happens as I type the 2, don't need to hit enter. If the password is not valid one, then it does not crash either. So it's a really weird one indeed!
