Hi Netbat,

Using JAWS, try activating the password edit field (any edit field) then press Insert+2 until you hear "None." You can now enter a password and not hear any feedback whatsoever. You are activating the JAWS "Typing echo setting." You will likely have to return the setting back to the way it was before you modified it. Simply press and hold the Jawskey then press the #2 repeatedly until you find the setting of your choice. To make life easier on yourself, you should find a website for which you are asked to enter a password and practice entering the password while JAWS is conveying "star, star, star). At some point you will get use to it. There are thousands of JAWS users out there, and this is not a prevalent problem. JR -----Original Message-----

A workaround that sometimes works is to type the password on your choice of word processor and then copy and paste it onto the password textfield. #Privacy #TypingEcho Regards,Feliciano For tech tips and updates, LIKE www.facebook.com/theblindman12v Follow www.twitter.com/theblindman12v On Aug 17, 2018, at 11:50 PM, netbat66 <netbat66@...> wrote: because sighted people can see the keyboard. we can not. and with me i can not concentrate on the passwords i enter with it saying star star star with every key press. -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, August 17, 2018 10:43 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: speaking passwords If sighted users can't see the password why should we? -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Don H Sent: Friday, August 17, 2018 2:58 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: speaking passwords Dam shame that FS doesn't think its users have the capacity to make a decision to speak passwords or not.

I sure would like to see this feature in JAWS. |
