I have the feeling I’ve been tricked by this quite a few times.
Most sites randomize this slightly to make you doubt yourself. To prevent brute forces from getting lucky, it’s more likely to happen the more tries you do per ip address.
I’d be interested to see some data on that. Using a password manager, I almost never type my password, and I’ve definitely never had an invalid password error across the like 180 sites in my password manager when it’s being autofilled correctly
