> more a vocal but possibly small group who are also using another specific tool

This has now been mentioned as a problem in 4 different tools: LastPass, KeePass, iCloud password manager and RoboForm.

While it is sadly still true that people who use password managers are a small minority, they are among the most security-conscious and technically literate users.

> It sounds like you have a password generation/management tool where it is easy to delete a valuable password before you're done with it

You could look at it that way. But I think that would be myopic. It's IMHO closer to the truth that this website is perverse about when you are done with the old password. And no other website that I have come across shares this defect.

> if we're just talking about a simple old/new password form (I haven't seen it)

Wow. So much invested in evaluated something you haven't experienced, but could easily.
