Safeguard what you type on your keyboard
Thieves can use malware to record what you type on your keyboard. For example, when you shop online and enter your bank card details by typing on your hardware keyboard, thieves could try to intercept this information. Instead of typing on the hardware keyboard, you can use Onscreen Keyboard to prevent interception of your data. Onscreen Keyboard works with Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers.
Important: Onscreen Keyboard can't protect your personal data if the website to which you send such data has been hacked, because if the website is hacked, your personal data ends up directly in the hands of criminals.
Install the Onscreen Keyboard extension for a selected browser
By default, Onscreen Keyboard appears on the screen automatically when you select a password field in the browser window.
Open Onscreen Keyboard manually
You can use Onscreen Keyboard as follows:
- Click the keys of Onscreen Keyboard with the mouse pointer.
- To enter a combination of keys (for example, the Option key and SHIFT key), first click the first key (for example, Option) and then click the second key.
- To switch languages, click the key in the lower left corner.
