Password Field Mode
CleverKeys automatically provides enhanced security when you’re typing in password or PIN fields.
How It Works
When you tap on a password field, CleverKeys automatically:
- Disables predictions - No word suggestions appear to protect your password
- Disables autocorrect - Your password won’t be “corrected” accidentally
- Disables swipe typing - Tap-only input for security
- Shows the password bar - Special interface replaces the suggestion bar
Password Visibility Toggle
A special password bar appears with an eye icon on the right side:
| Icon | State | Display |
|---|---|---|
| Eye with slash | Hidden (default) | Bullet dots: •••••••• |
| Open eye | Visible | Actual password text |
Tap the eye icon to toggle between hidden and visible states.
Scrolling Long Passwords
If your password is longer than the visible area:
- Swipe left/right on the password text to scroll
- The eye icon stays fixed on the right side
Supported Field Types
Password mode activates automatically for:
- Text password fields
- Web password fields (browser forms)
- Visible password fields
- PIN/numeric password fields
Privacy & Security
- Password text is only stored in memory (never saved to disk)
- Text is cleared immediately when you switch fields or close the keyboard
- The keyboard only reads the password field - it never modifies content
- Password is hidden by default - you must tap to reveal
Tips
- Check for the eye icon - If you see it, password mode is active
- Tap to toggle visibility - Useful to verify complex passwords
- Scroll for long passwords - Drag left/right on the dots to see more
- Predictions are intentionally disabled - This is a security feature
Autofill Suggestions
When an autofill provider (password manager, credential manager) offers inline suggestions on a password field, CleverKeys adjusts the suggestion bar to display them properly:
- The suggestion bar padding is removed to give autofill chips the full 40dp bar height
- Autofill chip dimensions are matched to the actual container size
- The bar is forced visible even if it was hidden
This prevents autofill suggestion chips from being clipped or hidden behind padding.
