Know the alt code on Windows. On a Mac it’s just like a phone, hold the letter and hit the number that corresponds with the accent you want. Look up how to do it on Linux. Not such an impediment.

True — that would be a limitation of using a physical keyboard to input the password on someone else's Windows computer. In many ways, you can use the on-screen keyboard.

I forgot game consoles. Xbox and Switch have access to accents as well. I imagine PlayStation does as well, but my last PlayStation was a PS3 (still own it).
