* The KP2A keyboard is the recommended way because it's safe against clipboard loggers: Whenever you select an entry, the KP2A keyboard notification will appear in the notification bar. Click it to activate the keyboard. (The first time you do this, you are required to enable the keyboard in the system settings. This must be done by the user for Android security reasons.) As soon as it's activated, you can tap a field where you want to enter data from the selected entry. The KP2A keyboard will come up. Click the KP2A key (on the bottom left) to select whether you want to enter Username/password etc. When you're done, click the Keyboard key (next to the KP2A key) to switch back to your favorite keyboard. * The KP2A keyboard is the recommended way because it's safe against clipboard loggers: Whenever you select an entry, the KP2A keyboard notification will appear in the notification bar.
