Update ( ): This article was last updated for MacOS 11 “Big Sur”, but should be applicable in older versions including MacOS 10.15–13. It’s just easier to walk through all the fixes instead of trying to figure out which specific issue affects your Mac. That is because they address three different keyboard layout issues. The above instructions may sound a bit weird and convoluted. But who knows? Maybe Apple manages to fix this issue sometime in the future. Macs with full-disk encryption (FileVault) seems more prune to run into this issue, probably due to how the pre-boot environment lives off to the side from the main systemd. My experience shows that this issue often reappears after MacOS updates on Macs that have experienced this issue before.

Here is how to get your Mac to remember your preferred login keyboard layout: This setting won’t always persist and sometimes automatically changes to either the ABC Extended keyboard layout (default when no layout is set), or the wrong keyboard layout in a bilingual setup. This can be a serious problem if you don’t realize what has happen, why your Mac won’t accept your password, and you don’t know what to do about it. You can change the keyboard layout from the input selector in the top left corner of the screen. However, if your password is dependent on a specific keyboard layout then you need to have the right keyboard layout set on the login screen. You may have this issue and not even realize it depending on what characters you use in your password. I’ve had problems with my Mac not remembering my keyboard layout in the start-up login window.
