Zhuyin ends up in a password field — can the system rewrite it?

Question

Weirdo · Accepted Answer

It shouldn't. Password fields enable secure input mode, where no input method or other program should see or rewrite the contents — even if what you typed came out as Zhuyin.

In a password field the OS cuts off the input method's composition and logging — keystrokes go straight to the field. That's why you often "can't type Chinese" there: it's not broken, it's protection.

Delete it and retype. Any tool that claims it can "fix your Zhuyin into English afterwards" is admitting it can read your password — which is far scarier than a typo.
