You just spell it in your mind going through all the letters and only press keys where asked.

I'm recently switched from a bank that uses regular passwords to a bank that uses partial passwords, and it took me a week or so to get used to this, and it is a little slower (takes me like 10 seconds instead of 1), but it's nothing significant.

You have made the assumption that everyone who uses strong passwords can remember them in their head :-)

10x worse is pretty bad, even though it is only 10 seconds total.
