Q: How do I use the phone keypad to enter letters from a password instead of numbers  when prompted by an automated system?

The letters are printed on the phone dial pad. Select the appropriate key.

The system will automatically do so...been like this for years.

Nope...you press just once...the system will figure it out.

Did this actually work for you? I'm pressing numbers twice, holding them down, and otherwise trying to type a letter and it's not working. Like you, I need to be able to set a password with numbers and letters and can't seem to figure this out.

Well, you don't do that. Example: You want to dial SPAM, all you do is press 7726, that's it. The system will know you mean SPAM.
