Input it once when you know it's clean and let it save the password.
Then use this feature:

- Security Settings
We introduced "Security Settings" to manage PlayOnline passwords with even further heightened security.
Because passwords entered on the PlayOnline Viewer are encrypted and saved to the hard drive to prevent other computers from decrypting them, even if the corresponding file is stolen, no password information will be accessible.
To advance our security technology even further in dealing with spyware, we have made the encryption key for each computer randomly generated and saved to a destination folder the user designates in "Security Settings." For example, if the user saves the key file to an external device such as a USB memory card and disconnects the device when it is not needed, security will be considerably strengthened.
"Security Settings" has been added to the PlayOnline Viewer's Login menu. After selecting it and designating a destination folder for the encryption key, a file name composed of random alphanumeric characters will be created in that folder. |
If you're the only user of your system, don't bother with the software keyboard. Let it save the password so you don't have to enter it anyway. You'll only need to enter it then for doing other account related activities, which for most people are relatively rare.
