Neo’s SafeKeys is a small program that helps to defeat keyloggers on unsecure computer terminals (such as Internet Cafes).

It is a custom-made tool that allows for you to mouse-click your password on an on-screen keyboard.

You type your password by clicking each button on the keyboard of this application (with your mouse). Your password will appear, letter by letter, in the text box at the bottom of the window (within a “******” password mask). Select the text with your mouse and then drag-drop it onto the password box on your online form. That’s it!

ADVANTAGES:

  • You don’t use your keyboard (keyloggers cannot record the password)
  • The utility changes width and height each time, as well as its placement on the screen (to fool mouse-loggers, buttons will always be in different positions each time you use the program)
  • Nothing is stored in the clipboard (clipboard loggers cannot save the password).
  • You can use upper-case letters and symbols (such as !@#${}) by pressing the CAP button – no matter how complex your password is, the utility can type it.

Keep the utility on a thumb drive or memory key and run it from there.

This utility is copyrighted Neo Aplin, 2005, but is free to use – download it by clicking the button below:
