Username & password trick 

You can make passwords very complex or long, since once they are in the EkaPad you never need to type them again. Caution: Store one password with only 6 or 7 letters and perhaps a numeral or two, because quite a few web sites will not accept more complicated passwords - no symbols.

To make entering usernames and passwords faster and easier, use the Keep feature. Enter both the username and the password, separated by the Tab chord, into one Keep register. Then to use, with the cursor in a UserName box, access the Keep register and the username is entered into the UserName box and the password is automatically selected and the password is entered.

For example: P&R (Press and Release) the Keep Enter chord twice, P&R the chords for a number, the storage register, (47 for example), enter username then P&R Tab chord then password then P&R Keep Access chord. The username and password are now stored in a Keep (47 for example).

To access, put the cursor into the username request box, P&R the Keep Access chord twice, P&R the number (47 for example), and the username and •••••• are entered in automatically.
