Summary

Improve loader passwords:

  1. Be clear about which password is being requested
  2. Remove extraneous whitespace between the prompt and the cursor
  3. Move the twiddle to where the prompt is, instead of two characters to the right
  4. Fix erasing the 'incorrect password' message when retrying; previously it was erased partially
  5. Remove the unneeded exclamation mark

I don't have time to do a thorough review/test, but nothing here offends my greater sensibilities so it looks good to me if you've tested it. =)
