Typing Passwords With The Virtual Keyboard

If you are unlocking your device on an unfamiliar computer and are concerned about keylogging
and screen logging spyware, use the Virtual Keyboard. It helps protect your device password by
letting you click out letters and numbers using your mouse and the virtual keyboard. The
underlying techniques in the Virtual Keyboard will bypass many trojans, keyloggers, and screen
loggers.
Note: This feature uses a standard QWERTY key set. It is available on Windows only and the language
preference for the device must be set to English.
To type a password using the Virtual Keyboard (Windows only):
1. Open the Virtual Keyboard by doing one of the following actions:
• 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.

Managing Passwords

You can change your password on your device by accessing the Password tab in the IronKey
Control Panel.
For Managed devices, password policy settings are determined by your System Administrator.

policies. When a change is required, the Password Change screen will appear the next time you
unlock the device. If the device is in use, it will lock and you will have to change the password
before you can unlock it.
Note: When a password is required, for example, when logging into the device or during a manual
password change operation, you can use the Virtual Keyboard instead of the actual keyboard to
type the password.
To change your password:
1. Unlock your device and click Settings on the menu bar.
2. Click Password in the left sidebar
3. Enter your current password in the field provided.
4. Enter your new password and confirm it in the fields provided.
5. Click Change Password.
