Sticky keys

I have some how activated sticky keys on my Mac... I turned it off as I wasn’t unsure what it was. It now won’t let me back into my Mac as sticky keys is on and I cannot type in my password.

Hi Megxharding,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand you've accidentally enabled Sticky Keys on your Mac and you're having trouble logging in as a result. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. First, try using the steps below to disable Sticky Keys:


"Press the Shift key five times to toggle Sticky Keys: Use your keyboard to turn Sticky Keys on or off.


To quickly turn Sticky Keys and Slow Keys on or off using the Accessibility Options shortcut panel, press Option-Command-F5 (or if your Mac has Touch ID, quickly press Touch ID three times)."


Change Keyboard Hardware preferences for accessibility on Mac


Let me know if you're able to log in successfully!



Best Regards.
