Accessing the recovery key password reset option at the login window on macOS Sequoia

If the following situation occurs:

1. You forgot the password to the local account you use to log into your Mac.
2. You have FileVault enabled.
3. You have the FileVault recovery key available.

You can use the FileVault recovery key to authenticate changing your local account to use a new password. Apple has documentation on how to do this available here:

https://support.apple.com/102633 (please see the Reset it using your recovery key instructions)

However, it looks like Apple made a change at the login window for macOS Sequoia. Apple’s instructions reference clicking on a ( ? ) symbol, which doesn’t appear in my testing on Apple Silicon Macs. Without that, how do you access the recovery key entry blank to enter the recovery key?

In the absence of the ( ? ) symbol appearing at the login window, you should be able to use the following keyboard shortcut to get the recovery key entry blank:

Shift+Option+Return

Clicking that combination of keyboard keys on an Apple Silicon Mac should cause the recovery key entry blank to appear at the login screen. 

Note: I was not able to verify that this also works on Intel Macs, so please let me know in the comments if Intel Macs have different behavior.

Here’s how the login window should appear when you enter the keyboard shortcut in this scenario:
