Key Scramblers for Mac?

[tropicalsuburb]

I'm trying to install a key scrambler on a flashdrive, so when I plug it into a mac, I can "safely" log into chrome.

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Have a read of this link and be very wary about File Vault and Scrambler software. Forget the password and bid troubles:-

People afraid of their own browser -- now I've seen everything. <shakes head>

Any particular reason you have to use Chrome? If so, have you thought about using the "safe" version of it, known as SRware Iron?

You mean the "I'm here in a tinfoil hat because I'm paranoid of a unique ID that's no different than a UUID and search suggestions that can be disabled by the user" version?

tropicalsuburb, what do you mean by "safely" login? What are you trying to do?

Sorry everyone, I'll try to be a bit more clear.

When I am using other's computers, I need a key scrambler to block keyloggers from seeing my password when I sign into Chrome (I use chrome because I sign into it and automatically have all my bookmarks and history.)

I KNOW some of these computers have keyloggers.

What about storing the Chrome profile on the thumb drive (see here) and have that signed in? If I understand your problem, this would put a profile on the thumb drive that would be signed in which would obviate the need for a key scrambler.

If you KNOW, then why do you still decide to use one of those computers ?
If you decide to use one of those, you have accepted the risks that come with that.

My suggestion .... use a computer where you KNOW there is no key logger.

Maybe I am missing something here.

Cheers ... McBie

This is actually very helpful, thank you. I'll try this out. However, it still would help me out a bunch if I could get my hands on an OSX-compatible scrambler, so I can sign into other things.
