What is the advantage of this over selecting the password? Typing a new one is 
exactly the same amount of keystrokes, and having the "wrong" password filled 
in gives a hint at what went wrong. I often see "ow, that many letters, then I 
mistyped this and that. It also makes it harder to correct mistakes by just 
editing a part.

I might be missing something here, but not clearing (but selecting) seems like 
a better compromise. No?
