Try with hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" in loader.conf

I have same problem with laptop and also with 6.x whaen it's happened randomly.
Try with 'set kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=1' and you will see
some characters are repeated twice when you press it only once, some
are lost. There was some locking issue, and I think it's fixed in
current.
