I didn't see anything on this, so I'm starting a post about it. On my daughter's Samsung Chromebook Plus, her login pw is a combination of letters and numbers. The letters type fine, but numbers aren't typing. I tried setting up a new account on it with my login, but with my pw combination that involves letters, numbers and characters, the latter two doesn't work either for me. I went on as a guest, and typing randomly, the keyboard was able to type numbers and characters in that state. I looked in settings, and comparing it to the settings on my Pixelbook, everything seemed to be set the same. Short of power washing, any ideas?

Are you able to bring up the onscreen keyboard for the login screen? I don't currently have access to my Chromebooks, so I can't test it out myself ...

I did manage to put up the onscreen keyboard and logged in that way. New problem now is that only numeric numbers 5 and 6 function on the physical keyboard. I found this on Reddit, but doesn't look like it got resolved by the OP: https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/7zegtx/chromebook_plus_numeric_keys_not_working_except_5/
