My keyboard isn’t working but I don’t want to turn my firevault off

My keyboard on my Mac isnt working for me to sign in with my password but I don’t want to turn off fire vault. Is there any other way?

Does your keyboard work at all, beyond the sign in?


Is this an old problem, new problem, what precipitated the issue?



If this is a Intel Mac—(does not apply to the SoC M1 Macs)

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295


Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
