As an ex-Googler in the Information Security Engineering team who has looked at our implementation of password authentication, I confirm this is a feature, not a bug. (Some old mobile devices auto-capitalize of the first character typed in a text field.) That said, I can't remember of the top of my head if we just ignored the case altogether or if the logic was more restrictive (eg. if first char is uppercase, also allow its lowercase version.) Last time I looked at the code was 6 years ago. Pretty sure this is a detail documented somewhere public-facing
