Hi,
unlocking swaylock is not possible when using English (Dvorak, intl., with dead keys) as a layout when the password contains some special characters like ".
Typing " with an intl. layout requires to press shift + ', then hitting space to actually input the character. I guess at least the " character does not work in a password with the layout. Using a password without special characters works as expected.
Running swaylock in a terminal:
2022-08-25 16:42:59 - [swaylock-1.6/pam.c:101] pam_authenticate failed: invalid credentials

Can I provide more information?
Thanks and best regards, Oliver
