    It is an intentional cooldown? I never know that, sometimes I always forcing CCCCCCCC^C it to create a placebo effect of it gets canceled faster.

      It knows if your password is correct almost instantly by hashing it and checking it against the hash in /etc/shadow. It’s intentionally blocking the thread to help mitigate bruteforcing.
