Embodiment Construction

[0023] like figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a password input method includes the following steps:

[0024] Step S102, receiving input characters.

[0025] Specifically, characters can be input through a physical keyboard or a virtual keyboard based on a touch screen, and each time a character is input, the input character is received.

[0026] In step S104, symbols corresponding to the characters are displayed in the password input box.

[0027] For each received character, a symbol corresponding to the character is displayed in the password input box, and each symbol represents an input character. For example, the symbol may be a dot or the like. Since every time a character is input, the symbol corresponding to the character is displayed in the password input box instead of the character itself, so the password can be prevented from being seen by others, and the risk of password leakage is reduced.

[0028] In one embodiment, the specific process of step S104 is: d...

Abstract

Provided is a password input method. The method includes the following steps: receiving input characters; displaying symbols, corresponding to the characters, in a password input box; acquiring a first trigger event to a password checking button; displaying all the symbols in the password input box as the corresponding characters according to the first trigger event. By the password input method, error rate of password input can be lowered, and password disclosure risk can be reduced. Besides, the invention further provides a password input device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a password input method and device. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the risk of the password being leaked in the traditional password input method, usually during the password input process, the input password will be displayed as a specific symbol (substitution symbol) in the password input box, such as a dot, a dot is Represents a character entered. However, since the user cannot see the input characters in this way, the error rate of password input will be increased, thereby increasing the probability of re-entering the password. In the traditional password input method, it can also be set to display plain text in the password input box during the password input process, that is, to input a character and display the character in the password input box. However, this method will make the password entered by the user easy to be seen by others, which brings t...
