Prevention of accidental password disclosure in application windows

摘要

Text entry context information associated with text entry within an inter-user communication application is evaluated. A determination is made as to whether the evaluated text entry context information identifies a text string entered by a user as a potential password inadvertently entered into the inter-user communication application by the user. In response to determining that the text string is identified as the potential password, the user is prompted to confirm that the user intends to send the text string using the inter-user communication application. The text string is transmitted using the inter-user communication application in response to a confirmation from the user to send the text string.
