Possible workaround: 1. Log in to a VT (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F4) and temporarily change your password to something simpler by running 'passwd'.
2. Change back to the graphics login screen: Alt+F1 3. Log in with your new simpler password. 4. Go to Settings > Language and Region > Input Sources > Manage Installed Languages 5. In the 'Language Support' dialog drag your preferred language to the top and then click: Apply System-Wide (Use the same language choices for startup and the login screen) 6. Now change your password again to something you prefer. And I hope the login screen will now accept it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Title: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In latest Artful (2017-09-08 daily), gdm does not allow to enter the euro character (€) when typing the password (be it with the real keyboard or with the visual on screen keyboard).
