iPod Touch - how to type WPA security key in lower case?
Mark in Essex
13-02-2009
Hi there,

My friend tried to connect his iPod Touch to my wireless network the other night, but we could not find out how to type the WPA key in lower case once it requested it.

I was wondering on how to do this as my security key is all in lower case (or is it not case sensitive and there is another problem)?

Thanks, Mark.

Password fields are by default in lower case. As you type it should show the letter too until you type the next one so you should be able too see what case things are in.

It's just like a normal keyboard, shift key to capitalise, double tap for caps lock.

Double tap for caps lock only works if you enable it.
But yes, by default with passwords the keyboards are lower case.

I think the confusing thing is though, the confirmation letter shown is always in uppercase regardless.

I've just tried there and passwords show up in their correct case as you type them. You get the charachter you just typed showing then as you press the next key it turns into a blue circle.

My wpa key is a mixture of lower and upper case as well as numbers and it's not difficult to enter and see what you are entering.
