Summary3645: Virtual Keyboard
DescriptionWith all the other accessibility features in Composr I think it might be useful to have a Virtual Keyboard (on the login screen at least, as this would likely prevent keylogging). Might be nice to extend it to other input fields but at the bare minimum I think it would be a handy feature which could possibly increase security. I may be wrong :)

Quite a few options out there already, although I am not sure how hard it would be to create the functionality in Composr from scratch which may be preferable.

Here's a good Reddit thread showing how many people hate this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/1320at3/treasury_direct_to_remove_virtual_keyboard/
It is indeed a pain if you use a password manager, and while it avoids issues with keyloggers, I doubt it does in many cases because people probably copy out of password managers into a notepad, and keyboard loggers probably also come alongside clipboard loggers.
I'm leaving this open as maybe it's worth consideration as an option, maybe there are other views.
