Bug Description
When using a tablet with no keyboard, selecting the onscreen keyboard (onboard) comes up as expected.
However cannot focus on password box and enter password using the stylus.
Password box isnt pupulated, This may be because when entering text in onboard, onboard takes focus away from lightdm.

"I've seen this too. This is just a guess, but the reason may be, that there is no real input focus on the password entry field. Onboard uses XTestFakeKeyEvent to send keystrokes. If there is no focussed window the keystrokes don't go anywhere."
