Protip: Change your password in the manager first, then copy from there to the form. Your password manager should handle your passwords for you; there's no reason why that shouldn't apply when you first set them.
I generally try to keep to a policy where system passwords and the password manager's master password are the only passwords I ever enter manually. All other passwords are generated and saved in the manager and then copied over.
That works pretty well if the website doesn't misguidedly disable pasting into one of the password fields. Even then I try to paste into the other one.
Good tip! Usually do that, but this was full disk encryption, which I have to enter in the terminal and not on anything the password manager integrates with. I could still have gone through typing it on screen and copy/pasting it, though.
The recommended way, which I am sure to follow next time, is to wait a few days to remove the old password. (Full disk encryption can have any number of passwords added.)
And remember Gmail.
