As a countermeasure to this, you can 'pepper' your passes or secrets with reserved letters / symbols that only you know about. For example if a pass is
_SOSECRETOMG!_
You simply omit the exclamation symbol, and reveal the real pass which is:
_SOSECRETOMG_
That's a very basic example, and can be made as complicated as your brain will allow. The older you are, the harder this gets to do small byte flips like this.
