In iOS 13, there is an absolutely bizarre bug when typing your passcode into the lock-screen: it will randomly delete one of the characters! You can actually watch it happen, you for example type 4 characters, and then on typing the 5th, it drops down to 3. It's absolutely infuriating, especially if you have failed-unlocking behaviors turned on where you then locked out of your phone after a minute if you fail X times.
The worst part is with all these bugs, you kind of feel that Apple will probably never get to them, given there are just so many (and on top of that Apple may just not care about non Face-ID modes of entry anymore, probably how this bug appeared in the first place). It is especially maddening since it feels like a cruel joke to have both the physical keyboard on the laptop mess up entry AND the virtual one on the phone.

- apaprocki 7y agoYou should feel lucky you can even type to have it delete one of your characters. On both (different) models of iPads I tried, the digit entry for screen time password was stretched out upon wake up so that there was no physical way to hit the “0” digit. You have to change the orientation for it to get back into a good state so you can press “0”. This one has survived all the updates so far! Pretty wild...
