For me, it's usually for passwords that I have in my muscle memory. I'll typo, instinctively reach for backspace, and continue typing. As soon as I think about what I just wrote, no chance of continuing.

Of course, the password being in muscle memory also means continuing typing, even if it ends up being wrong, is basically just as fast as deleting the password.
