Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for reconfiguring an operational mode of an input interface based on a privacy level are disclosed. According to one method, at least one of an environment in which data is being entered into a computer via an input interface and a destination for the data being entered is identified. An input interface privacy level is determined based on the identified at least one of the environment and the data destination. The input interface is reconfigured to operate in a mode corresponding to the determined input interface privacy level.
