Public bug reported: This has been an issue for me since I installed Trusty. It's a relatively short-lived issue each time I start up, as I need to enable the keyboard before I can log in, and then I can type into the password field.
I have removed the EN-US keyboard, as I'm using an EN-GB keyboard. Happy to do some diagnostics, but I'm not hugely technical!
