You can "impress" people this way still, just by surreptitiously typing Ctrl-u to clear what you've typed so far.

I'm guilty of that. I tend to mistype my passwords a lot, since I try to keep them pretty complicated, but since I usually realize quickly enough to imperceptibly hit Ctrl-U and retype in a smooth motion, I just let onlookers believe that my password is very, very long.
