Comment (by pmbaldha):

 In Mac Chrome, the password field doesn't display the Caps Lock indicator.
 The text field displays the Caps Lock indicator well in Mac Chrome.

 In Mac Safari, the password and text fields display the Caps Lock
 indicator.

 I have confirmed it and attached the related screen recordings to this
 ticket.


 Replying to [comment:30 johnbillion]:
 > Here's an interesting development and a small correction to
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48345#comment:18 my earlier
 comment]. On macOS (tested on 15.0.1) the behaviour of the built-in caps
 lock indicator is not consistent between browsers. In Chrome the caps lock
 indicator does not appear in password fields, but does appear for text and
 textarea fields (which is completely backwards). In Safari it appears for
 text, textarea, and password fields.

 > In addition the indicator only appears while the input is focused and
 the user is ''not'' actively typing. As soon as you start typing, the
 indicator disappears until you stop again.
 >
 > Who is willing to do some research on other software and platforms to
 see whether they implement a caps lock warning on their login screen?
 Ideally users who don't use macOS. I'm thinking to check all the big
 social networks and service providers plus other CMSes and report back.
 Then we can make a decision based on the results.
