I'm not able to log in on my phone. The login prompt doesn't echo any characters when I typed and I don't get a prompt for password.

Try clicking the tty1-8 buttons, it should pop up a keyboard (but will scroll you to a weird place). I just sent a patch that should fix the scrolling behavior after a tty switch: https://github.com/rsc/unix/pull/1

If you have a different problem, post your OS/browser so we can try debugging it.

Of course I clicked the buttons. It's an inexpensive Android phone on Chrome 118 and Android 11.
