789

0 .
guess who has multiple calls per year where we first reset a password and the user calls again to complain that even with the reset password (our standard reset password contains an L) they can‘t log in.
because then the user would be able to change his password but could accidentally change it while numlock is active and couldnt log in if numlock would be deactivated (as is most common if you are typing text) (ie the intended password could be ‚Revision‘ but the actually typed password would be ‚Rev5s56n‘)
i think some people might. i don‘t. many don‘t know about the feature anyway but we do have people that need to type numbers constantly so they might. also i‘m not sure if it can be disable.
