Quick thought: Did you enable USB in mkinitcpio.conf?
I've tried it, the keyboard led went on but I was not able to
enter the password
You need the "usbinput" hook in mkinitcpio.conf. Without it, no
USB keyboard will work in early userspace.
Thanks brain0, it worked! I will add this comment to the Wiki. You
can close it now.
