When using the Internet, you frequently need to enter your personal data or your user name and password. This happens, for example, during account registration on websites, online shopping, and Internet banking.
There is a risk that personal data can be intercepted by hardware keyboard interceptors or keyloggers, which are programs that record keystrokes. The On-Screen Keyboard tool prevents the interception of data entered via the keyboard.
Many programs classified as spyware can take screenshots, which then are automatically transmitted to an intruder for further analysis to steal the user's personal data. On-Screen Keyboard protects entered personal data from attempts to intercept it by means of screenshots.

Protecting data entered on the computer keyboard
Protection of data input on the computer keyboard allows avoiding interception of data that is entered via the keyboard.
Secure Keyboard Input has the following limitations:
- Secure Keyboard Input is available only for the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers. When using other browsers, data entered via the computer keyboard is not protected from interception.
- Secure Keyboard Input is not available in Microsoft Internet Explorer from Windows Store.
- 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.
