Hi maugus,



Thanks for the suggestion and the screenshot. We're always looking for ways to make 1Password more secure and the suggestion of a virtual keyboard has come up from time to time.



At the moment this isn't something we're looking into for 1Password for Mac. If there is a keylogger installed on your system, it could glean your master password, but the attacker would still need your data file in order to make the master password of any use. (This assumes your master password is a strong and unique password that you do not use elsewhere.)



One key point is that if your system has been compromised with a keylogger, the damage is likely already done. Many logging utilities also log window and click positions as well, so it is possible for them to know your master password even if your password manager uses a virtual keyboard.



Thanks again for the feedback.
