login password not accepted as a sodo password
#7
Glad you have sorted it out.

I would guess that the keyboard language/layout/key count mappings get applied prior to the login processes.  However num lock state isn't strictly a keyboard mapping setting rather it is a user preference so it would be difficult to always ensure it is the same for all scenarios where a password is involved.

Under 'Lite Tweaks' there is a utility to enable/disable num lock at login - I guess this does the same as the Behaviour setting.  Some PCs have a setting in BIOS which sets num lock to on or off during boot which adds to possible confusion.

Maybe the 'Who Are You?' screen on installation could have a confirmation/warning loop if someone sets a password with either caps lock or num lock settings active and/or the option to display in clear text what has been set as the password.
