A method at a computing device, the method including detecting, at the computing device, a trigger that authentication is pending for an application or service; indicating a state of a credential vault via a user interface of the computing device; and when the credential vault is in a locked state, activating an authentication mechanism for the credential vault without changing focus on the user interface for the application or service.

Method and apparatus for accessing authentication credentials within a credential vault

A method of implementing a firewall incorporating network security information includes configuring a firewall at a first computing device. The firewall is configured to initiate the first computing device to establish a secured connection with a second computing device in response to the firewall determining that a data packet received from the second computing device or to be transmitted to the second computing device is unencrypted. The first computing device detects the data packet, where the data packet is received from the second computing device or to be transmitted to the second computing device. In response to detecting that the data packet is unencrypted, the secured connection is established between the first computing device and the second computing device.

Firewall incorporating network security information

Systems and methods for monitoring data input are disclosed. A dataset entered into a non-password field is received. Based on the dataset meeting one or more criteria for a likely password, a determination as to whether the dataset is inadvertently entered into the non-password field is made. Based on determining that the dataset is inadvertently entered into the non-password field, further processing of the dataset is inhibited.
