"for a password, i focus on my computer"

I'm not sure what that means. When I have a password that is completely random, but well memorized and I typically use it on a desktop or laptop keyboard, I tend to find it impossible at first to enter it on a phone, because it seems to be essentially all in muscle memory that isn't applicable to typing on the phone.

it means i ignore the room i am in. i pretend the room does not exist. there is only me and a laptop.

that way, i get the same feeling of the situation no matter where i actually am.

Ah. But for me, there is only me and the keyboard. And different kinds of keyboards may not have anything in common.
