Virtual Keyboard

Virtual Keyboard allows you to protect your passphrase from being logged by stealth keyboard logging programs that might be running on your computer. You can enter your passphrase using only the mouse.

The Virtual Keyboard button can be found in every DigiSecret dialog window that prompts you for a passphrase. The Virtual Keyboard window has a typical password input area where the entered password is replaced by asterisks or displayed as typed. The buttons with characters represent the real keyboard buttons. The characters' case can be changed by clicking the Shift button or holding the Shift button on the actual keyboard. The Virtual Keyboard automatically detects the language layout changes and displays the corresponding language characters on the key buttons. The name of the current language layout is displayed in the window title bar.

You can also enter characters using their ASCII codes, which allows you to enter any characters from the ASCII table, even the ones that are not present on your keyboard. The use of additional characters increases the passphrase strength and considerably complicates the task of breaking it by brute force attack.
