Capturing Keystrokes

BB FlashBack Express can capture keystrokes during recording and display them in the Player application during playback. This can show the viewer actions performed by the user at record-time (such as pressing of function keys) which would not be obviously apparent by just viewing the movie.

 

Because this feature could inadvertently display the characters used in a password, by default BB FlashBack Express will blank out these password characters with asterisks.

 

Note: currently, BB FlashBack Express cannot 'asterisk-out' passwords entered into password fields in web pages. The characters are saved into the keystroke log and can be seen in the KeyLog viewer in BB FlashBack Express Player.

 

How to switch on keystroke recording:

  1. In the Recorder Options window, go to the Keystrokes tab

  2. Check or uncheck the Capture Keystrokes box accordingly.

Use the Replace Password Characters checkbox to hide or show password characters when keystrokes are captured.
