I've verified that I'm using the right input mode (US Dvorak) by clicking "Leave Message" and typing the password there. I've also changed the input mode to my second option, Norwegian, and typed the password (it's all a-zA-Z0-9 characters). I also verified that I'm able to log in in the first virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) with the same password. This problem has not occurred before. I'll postpone rebooting in case you know anything else I could try to fix this.
