On-Screen Keyboard for Lock Screen

As I am having some trouble at the moment with the lock screen and entering my password, I was wondering if there was some sort of on-screen keyboard which could be displayed to me on the lock screen so that I could type in my password?

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.
