Is anyone else having a problem with trying to type numbers when they are part of your password? If I type a number that is in my password I only get a repeat of the last letter that I typed. I can not get a number or anything that in above the numbered keys. I can type the numbers from the keypad but I have to use the on-screen keyboard to get the @ symbol. Even in this post, I can not type a number or the "at" symbol. This happens on all passwords that have a number and in certain other area's, like on here. Thank you. David

      Additional Tips:​

      • To type the "@" symbol without using the on-screen keyboard, you can try pressing "Alt + 64" on the numeric keypad.
      • For passwords with numbers, try using the numeric keypad to enter numbers if the issue persists with the top row of keys.
