Virtual keyboard vs copy/paste PW

Hi
I am on Windows 10 v 21H1.
With my current AV Internet Security software ( Bit Defender), I have the option of using a a feature called Safepay, which opens sites in a " dark" mode, supposedly invisible to outsiders, thus protecting PW's, c.c. and other sensitive information through the use of a virtual keyboard. .
Unfortunately, this virtual keyboard is too small and difficult to use because of my eyesight.
Would it be safer if instead of typing my Bank's PW or my cc number on the ( virtual) keyboard I simply copied and pasted them?
I thought this way hackers won’t see what I type and it would be faster, too, because my PW and cc are long and difficult to remember...

Thanks

Hello, you asked this here:

Keyboard typing and hacking protection

I replied..

Thanks
I tried the your password manager(s) suggestions, with the Last Pass and the Avira apps.
I couldn’t go anywhere, even following the instructions. They are rather complicated. I begin to think that these Password Manages r apps are not even suited for my purpose.
It would be much simpler, if I can, to copy and paste the PW without having to type it either on the virtual keyboard or the regular Windows keyboard from within the AV/Internet Security interface of Bit Defender, because hackers can see what I type.
I was just wondering if copying and pasting the PW is safer than using the keyboard.
It would also be an advantage because it could be quicker than typing: the PW for my bank account is very long, I cannot memorize it and I also have a fairly poor eyesight, after my cataract and galaucoma surgeries two years ago. The virtual keyboard is very small.
This is why I am asking you.. I’d like to have your opinion.

Thanks

Hi, I've spoken to my friend; he was less specific than I'd hoped.

In the UK there's a charitable organisation called the RNIB with an IT help dept 0303 1239999 which specialises in helping people with sight issues. You may have something similar.

Suggestion:
Keep your password file (with a backup) on a USB flash drive.
Either:
- don't have any info in that file indicating clearly to anyone else to which site the login data belongs
or
- encrypt that file.

Then cut and paste what you need from the file.

The risk is that if you do this, when accessing the file you could accidentally delete or modify the data.

That's another reason to have a backup of course.

Thank you
