If it's a password where I need to manually type like a PC login, I slowtype to make sure each character is pressed. I typically type fast so i might mistype at times.
if the password is registered to my password manager, sync up all the clients. If the password still doesn't work, there's something very wrong. This actually happened once, and I thought my database was compromised at first. Thankfully it was just EA being awful with their account security. Couldn't recover that account but I'm never touching any of their games if they can't keep user accounts safe anyways.
