In the first second I was taken aback by such a silly decision from the designers’ part, but then I realised it was actually a cool idea; you don’t have to wake up your computer. You just start typing immediately. How cool is that?
… Also, why the heck do you need to start with shift then? : )
Depends the OS.
Windows its Space
On Linux shift since space will fill in the password field with spaces

Because years ago I made my PC password with Capslock on since a warning would show.
So genius 13 year old me said, “hey even if someone knew my password, they’d never know how it was inputted.”
So my actual wake key is capslock.
Only my PC uses this old password method now, everything else is passphrase+uniquekey
