   Hello Neo,
   just for your info, the use of NEO's Safe Key does NOT HIDE the password-input to keyloggers.
   A test with PERSONAL INSPECTOR (Monitoring tool) shows, each button click is visible. And at the end, when you move the password in a field, the whole password is visible.

   very dangerous.

   Hi Matt,

   Thanks for raising this. In my testing of various keylogger packages, Neo's SafeKeys has always proven successful. I hadn't tried personal inspector though.
   I have had a chance to have a quick check using personal inspector, and you are correct. Personal Inspector does defeat Neo's SafeKeys.

   I will place a note on the website until I find a way around this issue.

   I want to try to keep Neo's SafeKeys ahead of the commercial keyloggers (if at all possible) - this gives me a good kick to improve the program.

   Again - thanks...

   Neo.

   Hi Matt,

   I believe that I may have found a way to stop Personal Inspector from logging Neo's SafeKeys passwords. I've hastily put together a new (beta) version of Neo's SafeKeys 2008 to assist. Passwords that are masked using the "***" mask should now be protected within Neo's SafeKeys - but I cannot seem to determine if they are protected within target applications (when the password is drag-dropped).

   Everyone is welcome to download it from here: http://www.aplin.com.au/?page_id=443

   I would love it if users would be able to give me feedback on how successful I've been in this fix!

   Hi Matt,

   Thanks for your feedback and assistance on this one. It's great to know that Neo's SafeKeys now works against Personal Inspector (and other keyloggers that use the same capture methods that they use).

   It's all part of the war for personal security against these keylogger programs. Just got to see what these companies come up with next... :)

   I've put a new version (v2.1.0) on the downloads page http://www.aplin.com.au/?page_id=338 which implements and extends on the v2.0.4 (beta), offering the same protections across the whole application. It's a recommended download for all Neo's SafeKeys users.

   Again, thanks for your help Matt. Hey - would you mind if I put a "Resolved" at the end of this topic name?

   Neo.

   Hi Neo,
   you made a very fast update, which is working. So the "NOT SAVE" is SOLVED!!!

   You can change the topic name. I don't want to hold users back, using Neo's Save Key.
