Abstract
A technique is disclosed to manage password setup such as may be integrated within a login authentication setup process. In response to an initiated password setup process associated with an active client account, a password manager determines whether at least two functional keyboard layouts are associated with the active client account. If at least two functional keyboard layouts are associated with the active client account, the password manager retrieves character position mappings for the at least two functional keyboard layouts. The password manager identifies character position inconsistencies among the at least two functional keyboard layouts based, at least in part, on the retrieved character position mappings. The password manager restricts utilization during password setup of at least one keyboard character based, at least in part, on the identified character position inconsistencies.
