Password entering window does not have the focus

[Bert Cuzeau]

I have seen the exact same request in the forum but no answer.
It's a gripe I have had for years with Truecrypt : the pop up window asking for the volume password does not get the focus automatically (and I think it can lose it while typing). This means if you're not careful, you can end up typing your long password in a chat window !
(note that I am under Windows 10, don't remember if I have the same issue under Linux).
Thanks in advance,
Bert

VeraCrypt already has the code that sets the focus to the password dialog by making it the foreground windows but there is no guarantee that this will work or remain permanent as described in the remarks section of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633539(v=vs.85).aspx

The only reliable solution is to use the Secure Desktop feature of VeraCrypt (introduced in version 1.20) which can be enabled in the Preferences. By displaying the password dialog in the Secure Desktop, we are guaranteed that we will always have the focus and that no other application will steal it.
