Hey, Lou.

If someone had mentioned it sooner--say, in 2001--I would have let y'all
know back then. I had discovered this feature in version four point one, I
think it was, but since I was a newbie at the time, I assumed everyone knew.
<shrug>. Sorry 'bout that.

OMG! This is the first time I ever hear about that! I'm really shocked!
Don't
even know what to think about that! Password fields that speak the actual
characters?! And Win-Eyes can let you choose?!

No worries, Bud. It's a Window-Eyes verbosity setting.

Any time you want to have WE speak the word star in password edit boxes, do
the
following:

Control backslash to open the WE control panel.
Alt E to put focus on the settings tree view.
Press the letter v to land on Verbosity.
Right arrow, down arrow to common, then down arrow to miscellaneous.
Shift tab (It's fewer keystrokes.) to the speak the word star in password
edit
boxes radio buttons. Choose yes to make WE say the word star; choose no to
make
WE echo the actual password characters.
Press Control S or tab to the save settings button.
Escape key to close the WE control panel.

Hi Gang,

I don't know if this is wineyes related or not, but here lately when I type
in a
password instead of saying star it reads back the letter I have typed. I
don't
know what started it but it's consistent now and does it all the time. I
like
it in a way as I can tell if I have mistyped anything, but I'm concerned
that my
security may be involved. Any ideas?
Thanks.,
