IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE
Description
You can use the IronKey Virtual Keyboard in conjunction
with the actual keyboard, so that you type some characters
and click some characters.
When you click a key in the Virtual Keyboard, all of the
keys go blank. This feature prevents screenloggers from
capturing what you clicked.
If you do not want to use this feature, you can disable it in
the options menu next to the close button.
In the options menu, you can also configure the Virtual
Keyboard to automatically launch when it encounters
password fields.
