This is something I've repeatedly seen users struggle with. One particular
pain point is that shift/alt/ctrl do not clear the shield -- this is
contrary to the training/habits of people who have been using screensavers
for a long time, since it's "best practice" to use these keys to reduce
the
risk of accidentally sending a meaningful key to an app below when the
screensaver clears.
I can confirm this. My mother once called me that her system was
completely ruined because all she had was a big clock on the screen. I
wondered for a while what she did with it again and then I realized that
it was a screensaver/lockscreen. She was completely stuck.
I have disabled (by an extension) the curtain on my home computer where
I don't lock the screen because in this use case I find the curtain
useless and it's an additional and unnecessary step to go back to the
session.
I also think it would significantly simply things if the
unlock-screen
password field were just _on_ that screen instead of conceptually hidden by
it.
I'm quite opposed to it. The curtain may contain a lot of info (music
player controller, all kinds of notifications,...), so it may get
cluttered with the password field. But I think the curtain should be
lifted by other keys such as Ctrl or Alt and should not be used if the
screen is not locked.
