[BUG] macOS umlauts are not working to unlock database when using English keyboard layout

Preliminaries I have ensured that:

  • [x] I am running the latest version of Strongbox on the App Store by searching for Strongbox and clicking into it to see the Update button (or not)
  • [x] I have performed a full restart of my device no matter how annoying that is

Versions On macOS (please complete the following information):

  • OS: 15.6 (24G84)

Strongbox Version

  • Version: 1.61 (5751)-P

Describe the bug I have an english keyboard layout and the password for the Database contains umlauts (ü, ä, ö). With the english keyboard layout I need to type ⌥ + u and then o to get an ö (⌥ + u then a to get ä, ⌥ + u then u to get ü). This is not possible when entering the password for the database. The ⌥ + u is just ignored. Is does work however, when I make the password visible. But that's not a solution.
