Unable to log in: wrong password

[Guillaume F]

I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 and wanted to try out the Unity8 session. I selected it in the Unity7 greeter, typed my password and landed on the Unity8 greeter. There, I have to enter my password again. However, my password is not accepted anymore.
My keyboard is AZERTY and I also tried typing in QWERTY, but it doesn't work either (I'm not sure I'm doing it right, though).
I'd be happy to provide more information if I'm told where to look!

Thank you for your bug report, indeed the unity8/mir session is in qwerty and you probably typed your password wrong, can you try again or maybe change for an easier password that you know how to type in qwerty just to try?

Mmm… You were right it seems I was not smart enough in faking QWERTY regarding numbers. I should have checked before filing a bug, sorry!
However, shouldn't the fact that Unity8 switches to QWERTY still be considered as a bug? Should I modify this bug or should I file a new one? On a related note, once logged in, I changed the keyboard layout to French but it did not work (even though French was the only ticked layout) and I was still stuck in QWERTY.
Thanks!

that's indeed a bug and already reported, see bug #1412492
