Cannot enter password on steam login

[Phaleg]

For some reason I can't type my password to login in to steam on my computer. I type and no characters appear, reinstalling steam didn't help. Quite wierd. Has anyone else had this?

No, try clicking on the box where you want to type...

Switch keyboard language to English.

Keyboard language is already set to English so that's not it.

try typing your password into a txt document and copy paste it into the box.not ideal and doesnt fix the problem but it will get you logged in.

That didn't work. I altered the properties of my steam shortcut, putting "-login LOGIN PASSWORD" with the login in and password in the Target field and that solved the problem.
