Launcher Window Focus Request sometimes failing (revealing password)

[LotteYanson]

(Not an InGame Bug but theres no Launcher issues section, or at least i couldnt find it)

Frequency: rare
Steps:
1. Open discord (via autostart for me)
2. Open the launcher
3. Expect the launcher to have the focus and start typing
4. Press TAB to enter ur one time password
5. Press enter and send your password + onetime in discord because the launcher focus request failed
*Add more steps if necessary

Sure its easy fix-able by the user to look on the screen while typing but also i expect that the application that opened 2nd and is also on top of all applications will request the focus properly.

Platform: Windows
Techniques used to solve the problem: clicking the window again after it started and went into the forground.
Detailed explanation of the exact issue:
1. Open Discord or any other text input application, propably even notepad would work here. (i only tested it for discord thou)
2. Open the launcher and instantly click on discord (before the launcher start showing)
3. Now the launcher finished checking some background stuff or creating the window of the launcher and all its components.
(4. The request for the window focus seems to be before the actual showing of the launcher?)
5. The password input box will have the text cursor marker but the launcher window will not have the keyboard focus
6. Typing now for example ur password will result that the password is written in the other window (for example discord)
7. Use TAB to expect reaching the 1time password and enter it
8. Press enter and the password+1time will be posted for example in discord since the focus for the keyboard was not taken despite the blinking text cursor marker that usually should only be shown if the window and that input box has in fact the focus.

Good morning and thank you for the reply LotteYanson,

I suggest to perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and selecting the 'Start up' Tab. Then, disable everything and then restart the PC. You may want to try setting the priorities higher for Final Fantasy XIV. While the game is running, please open up task manager and click 'Details'. Find the game and right click it to select the 'Set Priority' options to 'High'.
