Now that I’ve upgraded to Tahoe my iMac doesn’t register when I type my password. I don’t have another keyboard to try, and I don’t know how to get in and disable FileVault. Bus I just have a lightening bolt and electric symbol on the screen. Rebooting doesn’t help
iMac (2017 – 2020)
Maybe take a picture of the screen and post that? What you describe (lightening bolt and electric symbol) sounds like the Mac needs charging, but you see that on a notebook Mac not on an iMac.
Are you perhaps seeing the Thunderbolt and USB symbol?
That indicates you've put your Mac in Target Disk Mode, presumably unintentionally.

If so, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, release it and wait a moment, then press any key.

Try pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds, then release and press any key. This may help if your Mac is in Target Disk Mode after the upgrade. If the issue persists, check keyboard access settings or wait for a software update.
After installing the new macOS Tahoe update on my M1 Mac, I started experiencing issues with the built-in keyboard. Some keys are glitching, repeating, or not responding properly. Interestingly, external keyboards work perfectly fine, which suggests the problem is with the internal keyboard driver or software, not the hardware itself.
It seems like the new update’s keyboard framework (InputKit) is causing conflicts on M1 Macs. Waiting for a software patch or considering a downgrade might be necessary to fix this issue.

You have it backwards. External keyboards working fine normally indicate the internal one may be damaged. macOS software normally affects both internal and external keyboards the same way.
To add to this, I'm using a new MacBook Air M4 and shouldn't have this issue.
Please fix
My Apple bluetooth keyboard is having the same issue
