Answer 1

I think you don't know that Linux terminal Hide password type feedback. Just type your password correctly and hit enter. It you will works. If you enter wrong password then It will show you

Sorry, try again.

If you want to see your keystroke feedback in terminal then open your terminal Ctrl + Alt + T and Run

sudo visudo

And enter your password correctly

You will see file like one below. Using arrow keys, navigate to the end of line:

Defaults env_reset

Add this line with ,pwfeedback . Result should look like this:

Defaults env_reset,pwfeedback

Save with Ctrl + X and then typing y and hit “Enter” to accept Now close and re-launch command prompt to see if this worked or not.

Answer 2

It will not show the password while typing the password. So it's not your keyboard error. It's yoir error. I think u need to start from ubuntu
