Change to an different keyboard layout when entering passwords I've just bought the Ipad 2, all my existing passwords that I need to use (mails web services etc) are in Arabic characters.

I have added the Arabic Keyboard and am able to use it in normal text fields, but I cannot switch to it when I try to type into a password field.  If I already have the Arabic keyboard selected when typing a username, it switches back to the normal keyboard when I move to the password field.  Because of this I am unable to log into anything which uses an Arabic password.

I tried with Safari and Opera Mini browser.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see that this is likely to be very restrictive until you find a solution, so I offer this workaround to ease things while other answers come in.  If you enter your password into your username field, then select it, copy it, and type over the top with your actual user name, you can then paste the password into the password field..  This is 3 extra taps overall, but will at least allow you to use your logins in the meantime.
