How to Enable the Secure Keyboard on Android
The Secure Keyboard is a feature of the OS which is used to prevent malicious applications from reading the data entered using the keyboard. This is especially helpful in cases where there is sensitive data on the computer.
It is important to have this feature on your system as mobile devices have become a major target of hackers. Mobile devices are replacing corporate desktop computers as a source of hacking, and this makes it even more important to protect them.
The secure keyboard provides users with an alternative way to enter PINs, passwords and other information. With the secure keyboard, all keystrokes are protected from attacks and data is encrypted.
To enable Secure Keyboard Input, download and install the Kaspersky Protection extension. Once the extension is installed, it should appear in your list of installed applications. If you are experiencing problems, you may need to restart your machine.
You can use the Secure Keyboard to input PINs and passwords in your browsers, as well as in applications that require PINs. It is also useful when entering sensitive text.
One problem with the Secure Keyboard is that it disables autocomplete suggestions for fields that are longer than three characters. If you do not want to enable this feature, you can switch the keyboard to the native keyboard. Alternatively, you can use TextExpander to find which applications are triggering this feature.
You may be able to solve this issue by using a password manager. Some password managers will not disable Secure Keyboard entry afterward, however.
