This section allows you to choose how you want to input your password when prompted.
|
|
The default is to have one bullet appear for each letter typed. That can be changed
|
|
to three bullets for each letter, which making guessing the length of the password
|
|
more difficult letters when somebody else is watching. Even more secure is to display
|
|
nothing while typing the password.
