No-increasing the length of the passphrase box is just so I get a dot for every character, so I can see if any of the last ones were missed. Has NO effect on the missed keypresses themselves, just allows me to detect them. If I can see a missed keypress, I can strike that character again-and I have come to expect to do this on the netbook.
