Great, now I have to do three attempts on average, to enter my password.
You see, I have both English and Cyrillic (Russian) input layouts installed.
Before this change, typing in Russian in the password field simply did not work 
(did not add any characters), so I immediately knew the selected keyboard 
layout is wrong, and I have to switch it.
There is no other indication of the selected keyboard layout on the password 
entry window.
But now, typing Russian also works, so I have to guess that I in fact have the 
wrong layout by entering my whole password (it's in ******* so I can't see, 
obviously!), getting an Authentification failed, guessing "oh I must have 
mistyped somewhere", typing it again, getting one more Authentification failed, 
finally understanding "oh it must be the keyboard layout", switching it, and 
typing the password for the third time, successfully at last.
So PLEASE DISABLE ENTERING NON-ENLISH CHARACTERS INTO THE PASSWORD FIELD.
If your password contains an € sign, how about you stop being such a special 
snowflake and change it so that it doesn't.
Thanks.
