Hey there Maddiehaus,


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. If you're having trouble typing in the password field, we would recommend going through the following steps to help isolate and work toward resolving the typing issue. Try them in order, testing between each:


  1. Close the Messages app: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Restart the iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support
  3. See if the issue occurs in any other text field in other apps.
  4. Make sure that the iPad is running the latest version of iPadOS: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Once you've completed those steps, please don't hesitate to respond back if you need more help.


Have a lovely weekend!
