• In the password field, click the Virtual Keyboard Icon.
• When the keyboard focus is in a password field, press CTRL+ALT+ V.
2. Click the keys to type your password, and then click Enter.
You can also use the Virtual Keyboard in conjunction with the actual keyboard, so that you type
some characters and click some characters.
Hint: Click Randomize to arrange the keys in a random order. This helps protect against screen
loggers.
Note: When you click a key in the Virtual Keyboard, all of the keys briefly go blank. This feature
prevents screen loggers from capturing what you clicked. To disable this feature, click the icon
(beside the Exit button) and choose Disable Screen Logger Protection.
