Repeatedly unable to login to Mac Mini although i know my password is correct

Hi Guys,


This is a slightly strange one. I keep having an issue where i come to login to my Mac Mini computer on a morning and it will NOT take my password. I have to go through the resetting the password in the filevault option. It then starts working for a couple of days before going through the same issue..


Its almost at the point where i thinking the keyboard might be faulty or waking up in a strange state. Unfortuately i cannot 'reveal' the password when typing so i cannot see what characters are being types but it's a simple password without any extended characters etc..


ALSO. I have just experienced the same issue with my Mac Pro! The only point of commonality is that they both using GMMK Pro keyboards which are USB-C connectivity. I dont know whether anything like this has been reported elsewhere. I am going to have to try swapping out the keyboards for vanilla ones and see whether that changes anything...

Could you be hitting the Caps Lock key before logging in? The passwords are case sensitive.
