Q: Wifi Log In form won't accept input for username
Using iPhone 6s Plus with iOS 9.1
Can't enter any text in the pop-up wifi Log In form, specifically the username field.
No problem entering text in the password field.
Username field will accept no input from the iOS keyboard.
This is at a hotel. The hotel IT staff was able to use my iPhone's Wi-Fi address to approve the device in their system, and then log-in through the browser.
But iOS would not accept input in the Username field

I have found a workaround for this issue, which I have now experienced at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
When the Apple iOS pop-up for WiFi login appears, press "cancel" and then "use without internet."
This connects the device to the WiFi, but you are not logged in.
Open your phone's web browser and visit this page: http://192.168.0.1 [Default page for WiFi routers]
The login screen for wifi access will appear in the web browser and the keyboard performs normally.
Apple's reply on this issue was not helpful at all and didn't even address the issue of the keyboard not popping up to allow input in the "username" field.
Disappointed in Apple.
