That swiping up thing makes me so angry. What an absolute waste of effort. No way to disable it. If this is what they're doing in the most visible bits of the system, what on earth is happening in the rest?

Just hit the Escape key. You can also just start typing your password. I often type my password and press enter before the monitor is even awake.

Good thing no one on HN would ever reuse a password, right?
