Hi,
unlocking swaylock is not possible when using English (Dvorak, intl., with dead keys) as a layout when the password contains some special characters like ".
Typing " with an intl. layout requires to press shift + ', then hitting space to actually input the character. I guess at least the " character does not work in a password with the layout. Using a password without special characters works as expected.
Running swaylock in a terminal: 2022-08-25 16:42:59 - [swaylock-1.6/pam.c:101] pam_authenticate failed: invalid credentials

Running swaylock in a terminal:
2022-08-25 16:42:59 - [swaylock-1.6/pam.c:101] pam_authenticate failed: invalid credentials
dmesg:
[<numbers>] audit: type=1100 audit(<numbers>): pid=48171 uid=1000 auid=1000 ses=1 subj==unconfined msg='op=PAM:unix_chkpwd acct="<username>" exe="/usr/bin/unix_chkpwd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'
The password works in regular terminals in sway, and with the regular dvorak layout in the TTYs.
Can I provide more information?
Thanks and best regards,
Oliver
