Clever indeed; I only suspected this the second go-round, after I noticed the reload button flicker as I typed. I also noticed you don't have to press Enter or even type the correct phrase to get past the fake prompt. In hindsight, the easy to guess text should have been a dead give-away, but it wasn't.
