Why This Control Is Terrible

Users can't type their credentials normally. Instead, random letters and numbers fall from the sky like rain, and users must move a catcher left and right to catch the right characters in the correct order. Miss a letter and you have to start over. The falling speed is unpredictable, and you can't control which letters fall when. It's like playing Tetris just to log in.
