Ah, the classic "passwords don't match" error that appears before you've even finished typing. It's like having a backseat driver for your form inputs.

This is precisely why frontend devs invented the onBlur event instead of onKeyDown for validation. One patiently waits until you're done with the field, the other screams at you while you're still thinking.

It's the digital equivalent of someone finishing your sentences incorrectly, then calling you wrong. The rage is justified. Form validation timing is the hill many users are willing to die on at 4:54 AM.
