Abstract
A method, system or computer usable program product for preventing a password from being presented in a data entry field on a computer display including, responsive to user entry of a character set in the data entry field, comparing the character set to a securely stored password set for a potential match of the character set with leading characters of a password in the password set, responsive to detecting a match, inhibiting presentation of at least one character of the character set in the data entry field, and responsive to detecting a lack of a match, presenting the character set in the data entry field.
