Hello,
This login is a very limited system screen and though it sounds similar to
VoiceOver it is not VoiceOVer It will say user name until you enter a legit
user name something like "john" or "joncohn" and hit enter once your user name
has been accepted it will say password. If you enter the correct password then
in a few seconds you will have all the normal functionality available or else
it will say username or password incorrect.
My experience has been I have to type in all the characters of my username I
have never found a way to do this with arrow keys and certainly the VO style
keys I have found to do nothing.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
