--- Comment #1 from Reuben <kde at flavor8.com> ---
I figured out how this happens. The "update all" button is in the top right of
the window. With focus follows mouse, you are used to ...focus being under the
mouse... so by default you move the cursor to the dialog. If you are slightly
sloppy about this, discover grabs focus and your password goes into the wrong
place.

It's no the kind of thing that happens if you are being slow and deliberate,
but if the whole thing (move mouse, type password) is done on autopilot very
quickly, it can happen (and as above, has done for me half a dozen times or so
in the past couple years.)
