Bug Description
The pin code are usually digits only but the specification allows alphanumeric chars and some device use letters
The current design shows an osk in pin/number mode with an key to switch to "letters"
https:/
That's not something ubuntu-keyboard currently supports though (see bug #1430264), so we currently display a standard full keyboard (e.g qwerty type).
That's suboptimal since in the vast majority of cases the pin code is made of numbers. We could maybe workaround a bit that in the Ui, defaulting to a pin-mode osk and having a checkbox in the UI to switch to a full keyboard?
