This problem isn't new. Seen it in 2.6 and 2.7 as well.
It is keyboard specific and does NOT effect all keyboards.
solution 1
use number keys to enter password at log on screen and allow the number key to auto enable after log on.
solution 2
disable number lock on in bios and manual enable at log on screen.
solution 3
update bios, make no mistake about it, this is a BIOS issue not a OS issue.
these options have worked for me in the past.
Also this type of problem also HIGHLY exists in windows to. Might not be your keyboard this time around. But I have seen more keyboards in windows suffer this annoyance then I have in linux.
