Online Version Password

[Guest]

I'm a new pm user but I just wanted a little clarification.  Supposing you're on a public computer (you use passwordmaker at your other workstations) and you want to check you're email.  You go to the online version, put in all the same information, generate the same password as you would on your other workstations.  My question is, how do you get the online generated password to the page you're trying to log in to?  Obviously you could copy and paste but that doesn't seem like a very secure thing to do on a public computer.  Am I missing the easy fix here?

Why do you think copy-n-paste is insecure? Its more secure than typing on the keyboard, especially on a public computer (or one you don't own) (think keyloggers)...

But yes, copy-n-paste is how you would do it...

I think it would not be secure because it gets copied to the clipboard.  Good point about keyloggers.

Just copy some junk to the clipboard quickly afterwards.

The alternative -- not using PasswordMaker -- isn't more secure on a public computer. You'd have to manually type your password in that case. If you're more comfortable with typing than copy-paste, you can do that with your PasswordMaker passwords, too. There's nothing saying you must use copy-paste.
