I used this program last months. This happens because of frequent theft of password in Facebook. </p> <p>The hackers use keylogger program, especially in the internet cafe where I often use. The aim is to steal chips poker in zynga texas holdem poker, the third biggest game in FB. </p> <p>I am delighted, with Neo Safe Key; I am free access without fear hacker can break my FB password.</p> <p>Only if there's a little advice, we recommend the Neo Safe Key applications can also be used in Yahoo Messenger (YM). I see drag and drop technique, can not be used in the YM. This is the point gap for hackers to break back in and steal the password.</p> <p>Lastly, I think the Safe Key Neo-makers will be given a place in heaven. </p> http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/topic/saekeys-v3#post-108 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:10:52 +0000 anon_private 108@http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have just noticed Safekeys v3.<br /> I have downloaded v3, but still have v2 on my machine.

First off, thank you for providing the community with your "safe" on-screen-keyboard, it certainly plugs a hole many people aren't even aware of. </p> <p>Unfortunately, as seems to have been discovered with other programs as well (Opera?), some applications won't work as "recipients" of SafeKeys drag/drop operation, in this case i'm talking about TrueCrypt. This is very unfortunate, as passwords to encrypted filesystems are obviously quite "valuable" and there is really no other option in TrueCrypt than to enter your keyphrase using an inherently unsafe keyboard. Now, i know it's definitely not your fault that the people programming TrueCrypt wrote their software the way they did, but maybe there'd be other ways to send a password to a target application than just drag and drop? A software similar to your's, called "mouse only keyboard" seems to use a sort of locked clipboard that cannot be read by keyloggers monitoring your clipboard, maybe this could be an alternative? </p> http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/topic/problem-to-hide-password-in-amongst-random-characters#post-30 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:12:24 +0000 lmartien 30@http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/ <p>hello,</p> <p>When I stop the ‘Hide password in amongst random characters’ feature, Neo’s SafeKeys stop typing random characters but it don't remove all randomly-typed characters from the password box.

It fills a vital security space for computer road warriors.<br /> Out of curiosity, if I enter a password using your virtual keyboard, then copy to the clipboard using CTRL-C, then paste to my password entry box with CTRL-V, is that less secure than using a mouse drag-drop? In other words, can a malicious keylogger know what text I'm cutting and pasting via the clipboard? </p> http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/topic/unable-to-install#post-14 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:44:48 +0000 Zeianbast 14@http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/ <p>I downloaded Neo’s SafeKeys 2008 (v2.1.0), and when trying to run the install exe comes up with an error</p> <p>"Run-time error '339': Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependancies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"</p> <p>I tried re-DLing it multiple times, doesn't seem to be a DL error </p> http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/topic/neos-safe-key-is-not-save#post-9 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:39:08 +0000 matt 9@http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/ <p>Hello Neo,<br /> just for your info, the use of NEO's Safe Key does NOT HIDE the password-input to keyloggers.<br /> A test with PERSONAL INSPECTOR (Monitoring tool) shows, each button click is visible.

Opera will only allow dragging and dropping within itself.<br /> This is not a Neo's SafeKeys problem, as any application would have a issue with this. </p> <p>Probably the only hope would be to lobby Opera itself, to get them to allow dragging and dropping from other applications to Opera. </p> <p>Here are two postings on the forums that explain the dragging and dropping limitations (in various ways):<br /> <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=253332" rel="nofollow">http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=253332</a><br /> <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=249292" rel="nofollow">http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=249292</a><br /> (I'm sure there are more).</p> <p>Hope this helps explain things.</p> <p>Neo. </p> http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/topic/welcome-to-the-neos-safekeys-forum-1#post-3 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:49:29 +0000 neo 3@http://www.aplin.com.au/forum/ <p>We hope that this will become a place for users of Aplin Software come to discuss features, issues and potential software extensions. </p>
