Troubleshooting • Re: Raspberry Pi Writer 2.0.0 Does not honor en_US in Windows?

Here is the problem, any time a password is typed, it is using the en_GB character set NOT en_US character set
Locales en_US and en_GB use the same character encoding, ISO-8859-1. You probably want en_US.UTF-8 (Unicode) instead. Either way this will not affect passwords unless they contain exotic characters like ¢.

What is the actual problem? Are you sure a password is even set?
EVEN IF US (i.e. Washington, D.C.) is selected for Capital City. This is NOT user friendly.
The OS does not need to know which capital city you recognize. It has WiFi country, keyboard layout, timezone, and locale (language), which are four completely independent options. Washington DC is not a valid option for any of them.

I do notice there is a list of capital cities in the source for rpi-imager, but it does not appear to ask any such question for me. In countries with multiple timezones, or multiple languages, or multiple keyboard layouts, knowing the capital will not help to disambiguate which one you want, so I do not see the point. Are there people who cannot remember the name of their country, but only know the capital?
