Comment:

 Here's an interesting development and a small correction to
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48345#comment:18 my earlier
 comment]. On macOS (tested on 15.0.1) the behaviour of the built-in caps
 lock indicator is not consistent between browsers. In Chrome the caps lock
 indicator does not appear in password fields, but does appear for text and
 textarea fields (which is completely backwards). In Safari it appears for
 text, textarea, and password fields.

 In addition the indicator only appears while the input is focused and the
 user is ''not'' actively typing. As soon as you start typing, the
 indicator disappears until you stop again.

 Who is willing to do some research on other software and platforms to see
 whether they implement a caps lock warning on their login screen? Ideally
 users who don't use macOS. I'm thinking to check all the big social
 networks and service providers plus other CMSes and report back. Then we
 can make a decision based on the results.
