Protection of data input on the computer keyboard allows avoiding interception of data that is entered on websites via the keyboard. You can configure protection of data input from the computer keyboard on various websites. After Secure Keyboard Input is configured, a pop-up message stating that Secure Keyboard Input is enabled will be displayed next to the field in which the cursor is set. By default, Secure Keyboard Input is enabled for all website categories except Internet communication media.
This functionality is unavailable if Kaspersky Small Office Security is installed on a file server.
Secure Keyboard Input has the following limitations:
- Secure Keyboard Input is available only for the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers (not available in Google Chrome 69.x or later). If you are working in other browsers, the data that you enter from a hardware keyboard is not protected against being intercepted.
- Secure Keyboard Input does not work in browsers running in the application Sandboxie.
- 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.
The preceding list describes the main restrictions in functionality for protection of data input. A full list of restrictions is given in an article on the Kaspersky Lab Technical Support website. This article lists restrictions on Secure Keyboard Input in Kaspersky Internet Security, these restrictions apply also to On-Screen Keyboard in Kaspersky Small Office Security.
