    I use KeyPass portable. I usually just drag and drop user name and password but on some websites drag and drop does not work and I have to right-click in KeyPass to copy and paste.

    Is protection weakened when I copy and paste?



    NOTE: My other protection is Panda Cloud, Keyscrambler, DW3 and Sandboxie. I always browse in a "Default" sandbox and open a "Security" sandbox for financial transactions so I figure I'm covered, but I'd still like to do the most I can.

    Try this one for your answer :eek: http://www.zemana.com/ClipBoardLogger_Test.aspx

    For signing in to Keypass and for those times that drag&drop isn't working, try Neo SafeKeys ;) - http://www.aplin.com.au/neos-safekeys-2008

    Edit: If you use Chrome, there is also a virtual keyboard extension which passed the Zemana keyboard keylogger test here - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mpphfcjpaldmedbbomcdhgonmhjngfig?hl=en

    I tried cutting and pasting from KeePass with the Zemana keylogger running and the keylogger got the password unencrypted from the clipboard. Of course, I had to run the keylogger as trusted by DW3 but I still don't like the idea of putting any of my passwords unencrypted in the clipboard. I'll have to think about how to handle this. I cannot use a virtual keyboard because all of my passwords are very complex and I could never remember any of them.

    Thanks for the recommendations.

    Well, what about right clicking on your entry in Keepass and selecting "Perform Auto-type"o_O Also select in the edit settings - "Two Channel Auto Type Obfuscation"

    Tested this with both the Clipboard and Keyboard Zemana keylogger tests and it passed both tests ;)

    Image below is what it recorded with the "Auto-type" entering my username and password into this forum. Not bad huh! :)

    Thanks Tobacco!! I was hoping there was a solution I wasn't aware of. I will definitely try this. It will make me feel a lot better on some of my financial websites. Thanks again.
