Hotkeys for password

hparna · 11-23-2007, 05:26 AM

Instead of typing the password ,can we press hotkeys like (Ctrl+P)
Could anyone say how to assign a hotkey,
ex: username :xyzw
password : (by pressing hot key should able to login)

thanks

That would sort of defeat the purpose of having a password, wouldn't it? So you leave your desk and lock your machine, and Joe Hacker dressed as a cleaner walking up and presses control-p and he's in.

probably you can do that, writing a daemon listening on key stroke. then send key to screen. it is quite interesting topic for me.
