Secure Keyboard Entry prevents other applications on the system and/or network from detecting and recording what is typed into Terminal. Unauthorized applications and malicious code could intercept keystrokes entered in the Terminal. Rationale: Enabling Secure Keyboard Entry minimizes the risk of a key logger detecting what is entered in Terminal. Impact: Enabling this in Terminal would prevent an application that is otherwise validly intercepting keyboard input from intercepting that input in Terminal.app. This could impact productivity tools. Remediation: Profile Method: Create or edit a configuration profile with the following information: 1. The PayloadType string is com.apple.Terminal 2. The key to include is SecureKeyboardEntry 3. The key must be set to <true/> Note: Since the profile method sets a system-wide setting and not a user-level one, the profile method is the preferred method. It is always better to set system-wide than per user.
