1] Check for a lock button on the keyboard or laptop Some keyboards offer a lock button that could disable the keyboard input. On laptops, there is usually a button in the side or top corner. If you turn it off, the keyboard input should start working, and you can see the inputs in the password box.
Method 1: Restart your computer Many computer woes can be solved by a simple restart. If you are unable to type the password at the login screen, try to restart Windows 10 by clicking the Shutdown button in the lower right corner of the screen. Sometimes, the Shutdown button may be greyed out for some reason.
$ ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 > Enter old passphrase: [Type old passphrase] > Key has comment '[email protected]' > Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type new passphrase] > Enter same passphrase again: [Repeat the new passphrase] > Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
Restart the notebook. Right-click Start ( ), select Shut down or sign out, then select Restart. Wait for the computer to restart and open Windows. The keyboard should now work correctly.
Okay, just assuming this might be the answer:
Passwords normally don't show up in the console when you type them. That is intended. Just type your password, hit enter and repeat. It will work.

@fuzzy:
Thats why ssh comes with a program called ssh-agent which caches your passphrase. (Okay it actually caches the decrypted key, not the passphrase, same result) That way you can have a passphrase on your key and still not have to type it each time.
