Issue

Since a couple of weeks I have to reenter my password almost every startup of steam (another issue) but since today I am locked out since I can’t enter a lot of special characters including üöäßé and many more. I even tried pasting the password. This happens for both input fields.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enter special character into login prompt
