A foot switch for the computer keyboard. Press it with your foot and it presses the SHIFT key.
All the GD rules they make for secure passwords require TWO hands to enter them, and nowadays it is F ing constant. What do you do when one hand is full or otherwise occupied? You have to put it down to enter that stupid password again. The foot switch would allow it to be done one handed again, like in the days when it was all lower case. And still be “secure”.

Grab a fishing weight, put it on the shift key, enter the first character, remove the weight and continue your password, all the while happily sipping your coffee.
You could keep an encrypted file containing site names and passwords. When needed, open the file, copy the password and paste it in the appropriate field.
What's preventing you from buying a guitar usb midi pedal and programming that to a SHIFT key?
btw, I rarely type passwords anymore, Bitwarden (or similar alternatives) for the win! 🙂 😉
The fact that I am not a code weenie. I’d pay $200 for one if it was for sale. But then they might not let me load the device driver. It would have to be a keyboard with a 1/8” jack in the side of it.
This is the WORK computer. They don’t let you store anything, anywhere. They get a BIG KICK out of making you type with both hands. Every time you turn around. Not just with the passwords (several times an hour) but all their stupid internal web interfaces often take two hands to run.
there is another option. keyboards have two shift keys. Stick a biro in your mouth (blunt end) and use the sharp end to push the right hand shift key down.
The other thing you could do is use windows stickey key function. Once that is engaged a double tap of the shift key engages shift lock and double tap removes it.

It's been a while since I've done this so I plugged a second keyboard into the USB slot in the first keyboard to test..... Do you like my typing style? Some hunt and some nest 😉
I'd like a 200 W wind turbine that would fit in an 8" cardboard tube, collapse to 30" tall or less, and weigh less than 20 lb. Must produce 54 volts (for 48 v bike battery). Then I could take it touring on my e-bike & charge battery at night while I was sleeping. I could afford a motel room, but bans on charging a lithium battery in the room are becoming universal. Check out the 3000 watt vertical turbines on e-bay for house power.
