The accessibly options to open the on-screen keyboard are not present on the lock screen. For users of tablets this means that they can not type a password to unlock the computer unless they first choose to "switch users" which returns to the new 3.2 logon screen. Only from there can they then unlock.

Seems to me that the accessibly option should be available on both logon and unlock screens.

The lack of this option may stem from the fact that when the logon screen was redone for 3.2 the unlock screen never was updated or merged into it.

With the new screen shield in 3.6, this is fixed.
