Walletwasabi: [FeatureReq] visual keyboard to increase safe usage

[Morgorth]

Hi,
Recently chose Wasabi wallet as my main wallet. Quite satisfied, good job.
I believe it could benefit a lot of a feature that would help the security strategy of many people: a virtual keyboard to type the password (with randomization of the letter positions ideally)
That would decrease the risk of keyloggers, which are in my opinion the main risk of using such a wallet on a day to day windows machine.

While it does not protect 100%, it can certainly increase security.
Thoughts ?

The idea is reasonable. However, I do not see why it should be included in Wasabi it is not so easy to implement. There are many solutions to do this, often included in the OS itself.

I like the idea - seams a reasonable privacy improvement.

But as @molnard says, it might be tricky to do this inside Wasabi without adding many dependencies and complexities.

So, maybe it is good enough with the OS virtual keyboard, what do you say @Morgorth ?

[Morgorth]

Your point is valid, it's probably not very easy without dependencies.
On the existing keyboard aspect, as you can see in the link I provided, most of the security issues for the existing virtual keyboard happens when the keyboard is transmitting the value to the software. Hence with an integrated one, we remove that risk.

Make sense. I will leave this open as a feature request.
