Hey _kishu_,


It looks like you have Mouse Keys enabled on your Mac. To bypass this feature at log in, press Option-Command-F5, or if your Mac has Touch ID, quickly press Touch ID three times.


For more information about this feature, including how to turn it off, see the following section of the Mac User Guide: Control the pointer using Mouse Keys on Mac - Apple Support


Cheers!
