WatchOS 9 Scribble problem with passwords

My watch is requiring me to validate my iTunes and iCloud passwords. . Unfortunately I have no way to enter several characters on scribble such as a Q, Zero (0) or O as the old gestures no longer work and digital crown no longer offers you the ability to choose character case. How does one enter complex passwords now?


And for those who ask, you cannot validate account passwords on your phone, they must be done on the watch.

Ended up using my phone by ensuring my phone was on, close by and logged in and scribble prompted me on the phone to enter the password.


I still think this is an issue that a scribble crown no longer seems to offer case options via the digital crown.

I did mine on the phone 30 minutes ago,signed out of apple id and signed back in again and was asked security questions then everything went fine.
