I think the trouble was that I had the same password as the username. I do this because if the screenreader won't work in the log in window, I can type the same thing in both fields, and it reduces the chances for the guessing game. If I have different words, I have to try it with username, enter and PW, enter, and enter again, in case it was wrong, and try again. A second enter will enter on nothing so I can start at the top. But with the same word for both, I have less trouble. But it seems that this installer won't allow the same name for both. I'm not worried about security, so I prefer a short and simple password.

I just found this in my spam folder, but don't recall any replies in the meantime. The login dialog box can cause some confusion even when not using a screen reader. It can be unclear whether the dialog is requesting username or password. (this caught out a lot of LinuxCNC users with our Bookworm image) And I can imagine that a screen reader would make this more confusing. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912
