How to disable the AOSP keyboard?

chris657

I'm using the FUTO keyboard and disable the AOSP keyboard in Settings->System->Keyboard->Onscreen-keyboard, but each time I change User the AOSP keyboard gets re-enabled.

I guess this might have been a temporary fix to the issue of not being able to unlock the phone (if using a password and having an inoperable 3rd party keyboard).

If that's the case, it'd be nice to be able to properly disable the AOSP keyboard, at least for non-Owner users, because there are other workarounds now.

You are right, It was done in purpose. Users kept getting locked-out of their systems because their keyboard of choice wouldn't show up on lock screen. AOSP keyboard is there in case other types of input suddenly disappear. GOS waits for the upstream fix to remove it.

If this is intentional I hope it's fixed soon. This is pretty infuriating to run into as a new user when I don't even use password input on the lock screen.
