Actually, I solved the issue. It's the simplest thing. Right before it asks for the password, a popup appears asking if you want to still display the tips (regarding the tap or double tap, etc functionality). As long as you click "Yes" (I still want to see the tips), you will not be able to enter a password. But if you click "No" (or whatever the equivalent was) you will be able to enter a password.
A little bug to fix, I believe.
