Research direction

Start in src/Cards/UserCard.vala around lines 162-169, where the intended password-entry focus logic is referenced. Reproduce the issue by booting OS 9 Daily and checking the Greeter when it appears; done means the password entry is focused automatically and accepts typing without manual focus.
