Moreover, because passkb emulates typing, Web applications can never block it, as they have to allow typing by design. Another notable security advantage is that passkb runs as a separate process in the operating system, so it can be easily sandboxed and denied network access (after all, we're trusting it with our passwords). The only downside is that there is a slight inconvenience of switching several windows to "copy-type" a password and you have to do it in a timely manner: by default you have 5 seconds (but it is configurable) to put the cursor in the right place for the tool to type the password in the needed form. Otherwise, it will type the password to wherever the cursor and the focus currently is.
