Unable to enter password when booting into recovery mode
Hello,
I am using the 2017 version.
I hold down ALT to boot with the Acronis recovery media, and select to recover with acronis. After selecting the correct .tib file, it requires a password. I try to type this password, and no characters show up. I have the new Macbook Pro 2016 with the OLED touchbar. I've also tried entering text into the "search" field when selecting the .tib file, but characters do not show up when I try to type in this field either.
Please help!
Thank you.

I don't, but what about plugging in a standard USB keyboard and mouse instead of using the touchbar. It might just be a driver issue not picking up the touchbar correctly - just a wild guess, but not out of the realm of possibility. This is a commong "fix" for Windows touchscreen devices that have newer hardware than the current release of Acronis (such as each iteration of the Surface Pro's).

I've tried plugging in a gaming keyboard, I'll try with a regular dumb keyboard I guess. I'll let you know.

Thanks for the suggestion, just tried with the dumbest of the dumb keyboards I own, didn't work though :( (The keyboard does work prior to booting the Acronis Media, and works in the macOS installer media, as expected).

Bummer - definitely reach out to tech support to see what they can offer - it may need to be addressed in an update for driver compatibility. You probably already tried, but did you try unplugging and plugging in the keyboard after Acronis had launched as well? Not likely to help, but worth a try I guess.
