Passwords with backslash get escaped by auto-type on Linux
Popular easy-to-use and secure password manager

I recently switched to Linux and figured out several of my passwords do not work, with a bit of research it appears if a password contains a backslash then autotype will escape it so that 2 backslashes are types.
For instance a password:
Some\Password
will be auto typed into login form as:
Some\Password
Causing the login to fail ofc.
This is reproducible on X11, I didn't test on wayland.
And the website on which I reproduced this by autotyping my login was https://discuss.kde.org/
Edit because forum software escaped my sample.
will be auto typed into login form as:
Some\\Password
