Would it be possible to make [dnf update] output something immediately after being

I know it’s probably a miniscule thing, but it’s one of those small details you
notice when shifting over from an apt-based distro. When running [apt update] or
[apt upgrade] it responds instantly.
I usually run it like [sudo dnf update] and when you mistype your password it gives
you a wait period, but so does [dnf update]. So in a brief moment you’re left
hanging not knowing whether the password was incorrect or if [dnf] is simply
updating. I know changing [sudo] to not give a wait period would be a lesser crime
to some, so therefore I’m wondering if we can change [dnf] instead.
If I’m addressing the wrong list, please advise. Also I’m not very good at C
languages so I can’t just provide a patch unfortunately.
It seems the period of time, at least on my system, between entering a bad password
for sudo and getting a "Sorry, try again." prompt is between 1 and 2 seconds.
Probably closer to 1. Is this too long?
Anyway, if you think this is a feature everyone would benefit from then you should
use bugzilla to submit an RFE (Request For Enhancement) against dnf.
