No idea if the double attempt with correct password required to login successfully was an intentional change, but it probably means it'll take twice as long for the telnet password to be cracked by malicious login attempts. If so, that's useful in its own way. Supposing the average password cracking program is set up to try once before moving to the next character combination, in theory, it would never be able to break in. Malicious people would have to force their cracking software to try everything twice and accept it being slowed down by half speed. I honestly hope this is in some way intentional because for such a small inconvenience to me, that's a huge inconvenience to people who really deserve to deal with the extra hassle. 😆
