I found it's important to follow the long delay - which allows for the
browser to load a new page, with a short a delay for the actual typing
speed.

The last delay in your string is "\d999".  This causes the delay between
the appearance of each and every character of password and <some other
auth info> to take about 3 seconds. :)

So try following your three groups of "\d999"s with something short,
like "\d60".
