Hitting CTRL+C kills X. This is a quick photo of what appears for a couple of seconds, before GDM takes on again. If you've not the time to read all the password, you can always CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
As you can see, there's also my username at GDM. I removed the "genuine password". The rest is a string searched in firefox, and what I typed in the terminal. This time, also a lot of ^H, ^B and other strange control characters weren't put there, because the session was too short.
