Even here in Canada there are sometimes confusions between US English and Canadian French keyboards. What you type on a US keyboard may be saved as something else. On older keyboards, some keys may not be reliable. You can try using a password that avoids keys whose mapping changes between any alternate language that might be used in your location or that are unreliable. -- George N. White III
