I accidentally all Gboard layouts and can’t enter my password anymore. I do have some other keyboard apps, but they don’t load immediately after booting. adb shows no devices, probably need to unlock and allow USB debugging… I thought about connecting a hardware keyboard. How would that work?

If it's USB-C, either you plug it straight in, or you get an adapter or a dock or anything that converts USB-C to an A port. Most laptop adapters for that will work just fine.

If it's USB micro B, there's a thing called an OTG adapter that gives you a regular USB-A port as well.

Then you just plug it in.
