Hello,

I received a password that contains a strikethrough capital S, but I couldn't find the key on my keyboard. How should I proceed?

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 76.0.3809.100

    Hello,

    It's in the Windows character map, almost at the bottom:
    Select, copy, and then paste it into the password with Ctrl + v.

        It's not very complicated; I hope you found it and that the problem is resolved.
        (The Character Map is located in the Windows Accessories of the Start menu).

      I just found this barred letter S in the 4th box at the top left of the Windows table, thank you.

        The letter found in the 4th box in the top row of the character table is the dollar sign. It is directly accessible on the keyboard (2 keys to the right of the letter P). With certain typefaces, the bar may appear slightly tilted; it is normally vertical.

        I think it is very likely the character you are looking for. The one I indicated is completely unused, and I doubt it would be accepted in a password. Since you mentioned a slash, I was looking for something very complicated.

        At least you have learned about the existence of the character table (very useful for letters not accessible on the keyboard like Ç or À).
