Term: Keyboard authentication
Definition: Keyboard authentication is the advanced form of password authentication, aimed specifically at the human operator as a client. During keyboard authentication zero or more prompts (questions) is presented to the user. The user should give the answer to each prompt (question). The number and contents of the questions are virtually not limited, so certain types of automated logins are also possible. SSH/SFTP client components support keyboard authentication via OnAuthenticationKeyboard event. The client application should fill Responses parameter (of the mentioned event) with replies to questions contained in Prompts parameter. Echo parameter specifies if the response should be displayed on the screen or masked as the user types it. The number of responses must be equal to the number of prompts.
