Here is a good one. I have create a 256 AES password protected 30GB DMG file. Nothing is in it at the moment. I have created a 30 characters long password with CAPS, lowercase, numbers and special characters. When I double-click the DMG file it does ask for the password. It doesn't work when typing manually.
When I use the terminal to open the file and enter the password (Copy paste from a text file) it does open.
Yes, I have typed the password very slowly, character by character but the pop-up for the password when opening the file doesn't work. Only in the terminal with a copy paste of the password.
Could the password prompt doesn't support a specific language of keyboard? There are no accents...
Any ideas?
