This issue is my daily annoyance, because I have a long password and it's easy
to mistype it :(

I think it ideally should work like on Android or Windows: The first few
incorrect tries incur no penalty, only if you retry wrong passwords multiple
times the delay gets introduced and gradually increases (exponentially). Note,
that this approach doesn't really worsen the security, it should even be
better, because the exponentiality prevents brute-force better than the current
approach with a constant delay.
