IRONKEY USER GUIDE

Step

Description

 Click the IronKey Virtual Key-

board icon.

The IronKey Virtual Keyboard will

appear. Alternatively, you can press
CTRL + ALT + V

 Click on the keys to type out

your password. Click on ‘Enter’

when you are finished.

Note that you can use the IronKey Virtual Keyboard
in conjunction with the actual keyboard if you wish, so

that some characters are typed and some are clicked.

3 You can optionally click the

“Randomize” button to random-
ize where the keys are. This helps

protect against screenloggers.

Notice that when you click on a key in the Virtual Key-
board, all of the keys will go blank. This is a protection
that prevents screenloggers from capturing what you

clicked on.

If you do not wish to use this protection, simple dis-
able it in the options menu next to the close button.

You can also have the Virtual Keyboard automatically
launch when it encounters password fields. This too is
configured in the options menu.

USINg THE ONBOARD FIREFOx & SECURE SESSIONS SERVICE (WIndoWs)
Since your IronKey comes with a Firefox web browser already onboard, none of your cookies,
history files, bookmarks, add-ons or online passwords are stored on the local computer. Now

you can carry your personalized web experience with you to other computers without worry.
