Password prompt misses to register some characters in MacOS Sequoia 15.2
I and a colleague have been getting issues when unlocking our screens in MacOS Sequoia after the 15.2 update, with the password prompt sometimes, around 50% of the time, reporting our passwords being wrong. I first thought the passwords to be corrupted in some way and I made a password reset on my computer by booting into Recovery like some have suggested on this forum. However, in this case that did not help.
Then my colleague discovered something interesting! When typing his password into the password prompt some characters are not always being registered the first time you press the key and thus have to be pressed twice! This turned out to be the case also for me. On my Mac when this happens it is always the same character that has to be pressed twice to register, but in the case of my colleague there have been two different characters with this problem. The problem is not only present in the screen-unlock prompt by the way, it even goes for the password prompt MacOS pops up when logging in to this forum.
Worth noting is that we have zero issues with our keyboards outside of the password prompts! Also, my colleague typically enters his password using the built-in keyboard of his M2 MacBook Air and I do it using a Magic Keyboard (the one before Touch ID) wirelessly connected to my M4 Pro MacBook Pro while in clamshell mode.
