About protection of data entered on the computer keyboard

Protection of data input on the computer keyboard allows avoiding interception of data that is entered on websites via the keyboard. To enable protection of data input on the keyboard, the Kaspersky Protection extension must be activated in the browser. You can configure protection of data input from the computer keyboard on various websites. After Secure Keyboard Input is configured, a pop-up message stating that Secure Keyboard Input is enabled will be displayed next to the field in which the cursor is set. By default, Secure Keyboard Input is enabled for all website categories except Internet communication media.

Secure Keyboard Input has the following limitations:

• Secure Keyboard Input is available only for Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. If you are working in other browsers, the data that you enter from a hardware keyboard is not protected against being intercepted.
• Secure Keyboard Input does not work in browsers running in the application Sandboxie.
• Protection of data input from the computer keyboard cannot protect your personal data if a website that requires entering such data has been hacked, because in this case information is obtained by intruders directly from the website.

The preceding list describes the main restrictions in functionality for protection of data input. A full list of restrictions is given in an article on the Kaspersky Technical Support website.
