There has been times when the Window-Eyes keyboard echo creates additional stars when entering passwords. This happens when entering a numeric character, for instance WE will say star twice when entering a password that is mixed. This appears to be related to the keyboard echo setting. In the Voice setting under keyboard if I have it set to characters then WE will only say star once for each character in a password field regardless of whether it is alphabetic or numeric. My preferred setting for the Voice is Words and Numbers. Now in many password fields WE will say star for each alphabetic character. WE will say star star for each numeric character. And if the digits are in the middle, sometimes WE will say the alphabetic characters out loud when they follow the digits. For example if I have a password that is GW12Micro WE will often say star star star star star Micro. This is usually on a web page that requires some type of authentication. Or on a system that is logging into a server some where out on the world wide web.
