you can tun off key repeat or set it to a long delay. You should also
be able to have accessability options set for use with login but I'm
not clear on how this is done.

Subject: Filter Keys and log in
Hi,
Background: I am working with a man who lives in a ward of a hospital
with 4 other people. He has his dell desktop computer next to his bed.
He has limited use of only one hand and in order for him to use the
computer he needs to have the Filter keys settings through
accessibility turned on, that allow him to avoid repeated key strokes
when typing. It appears as if other people on the ward are using his
computer when he is not around, and I am very worried about security
issues.
Problem: When I set up the password for him, I find that the filter
keys are not set up before he logs in. What happens is that when he
goes to type in his password instead of for example one “a” being
typed he has multiple “aaa” being typed. This causes a problem because
the password is no longer valid.
Any ideas on how we can work with this Filter key issue. Any other
security issues we can work set up for this.
Thanking you in advance,
Lorraine
