universalblue is what we set in the ISO. It doesn’t require any special characters and is tied to the project.

The length is important, previously we did it ublue-os because ublueos was a character too short, and then changed it to universalblue because of international keyboard issues with -
We will not be changing it again any time soon.
‘a’ and ‘q’ are reversed on qwerty and azerty

True, but ARERTY(“universalblue”) == QWERTY(“universqlblue”), unfortunately

For sure
I did not know there were issues with “-”
Now we have an issue with a and q (see Keyboard Change Cipher - Online QWERTY Shifter/Converter )

## Problem
The mokutil UEFI menu UI is not respecting keyboard layouts (it alwa… ys is in QWERTY)
And AZERY("a") == QWERTY("q") there (so QWERTY("universalblue") == AZERY("universqlblue") )
As the MOK password input UI makes characters invisible, [it is difficult to notice the problem for someone not usually using QWERTY](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/mokutil-list-enrolled-explanation/4266/18?u=malix)
## Solution
[Make the default MOK password idempotent](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/mokutil-list-enrolled-explanation/4266/19?u=malix)

> the problem is the UEFI/MOK firmware not respecting keyboard layouts?
The p… roblem indeed comes from the mokutil UEFI menu UI not respecting keyboard layouts (always QWERTY)
So for example, my AZERY "a" is translated as a QWERTY "q" there (so "universqlblue")
And as the password input UI doesn't let you see character, it was impossible to know before [someone on the forum told me it could come from there](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/mokutil-list-enrolled-explanation/4266/18?u=malix), after having wasted 15 minutes trying with different methods :sweat_smile:
This is why I also mentioned :
