UX Defect: unnecessary interstitials when password is wrong while using hardware keys #648

System and settings:

To reproduce this defect:

The experience of Strongbox configured without the hardware key is ideal. A message appears on the screen, but the next keystroke clears the message and clears the password field, and the keystroke is entered as the first character of the next attempt on the password.

Why does choosing to use a hardware key make the user suffer two unnecessary interstitials for a wrong password when the experience without the hardware key is so elegant?
