Set Encrypted Text - not encoding properly on IE11 only

I’m using a login script i’ve been using for a long time and recently i had to change the password due to passowrd complexity requirements on the system under test.

running the login script on Firefox and Chrome, it runs fine.

When I run the login script on IE11, the login script fails with the password length having 10 characters (W99o4u7h-Z);
I also noticed the length of the asterisks while the script runs on the password field look like it’s as long as the encrypted text (24 characters - X50s0pkHYA+wk3H3pfQfVQ==)

I updated Webdriver for IE, retried login script, no go.

I tried several versions of Katalon studio to run the same login script, still no go. versions tried: 7.6.6, 7.7.2, 7.9.1

I went as far as changing the password to a different one, but the same minumum length, thinking that the special character must have been messing up something for IE, still no go.

Edit:
Tried to use Set Masked Text and put in the unencrypted password text, same issue, script works on Firefox/Chrome, on IE it types in extra characters on the password field

Tried to use Set Text only for the password, and put in the unencrypted password text, same issue, script works on Firefox/Chrome, on IE it types in extra characters on the password field
