No chance for a second try? I've read (now) that a delay is default for security reasons. Does this include removing the greeter completely, leaving a black screen? Is this the intended behavior when wrong passwords are typed? Because from the answers to this question I (maybe mistankenly) had the impression that the greeter remains there, but will not take inputs for the duration of the set delay.

this is a bug - no designed system would prevent from a second trial– jenaNov 15, 2019 at 10:22

Thanks for the info, appreciated it. Any idea about how can I fix it?– JoyNov 15, 2019 at 14:28

Bugs should be reported on github/greeter, but first let's try a few ideas. What exactly you mean by going black - does the screen switch off or it's on and shows nothing e.g. even after moving mouse? What happens if you try activating terminal (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1)? Can you login from there?– jenaNov 15, 2019 at 14:50

FYI if you wanna go back to graphical session from terminal session, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 ;)– jenaNov 15, 2019 at 14:52

I installed eOS not long ago (end of October or beginning of November, I think) and this was the first time I mistyped my password. When I did, the greeter disappeared, and the new greeter's black background was the only thing in the screen. I could see the mouse pointer moving, but nothing else, so I restarted the computer and made sure I typed the password very carefully, so I got in. I didn't know about the Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F7 options. Thanks for the tip. :) Next time I log in I will try it.– JoyNov 16, 2019 at 13:52
