Abstract

There is provided a method that includes (a) presenting, on a display of a user interface, a line for entry of data, (b) receiving, from the user interface, a first string of data, (c) presenting a representation of the first string of data, on the display, on the line, (d) receiving, from the user interface, data that represents a space, (e) presenting a representation of the space, on the display, on the line, (f) receiving, from the user interface, a second string of data, (g) presenting a representation of the second string of data, on the display, on the line, (h) accepting the first string of data as a first parameter, and (i) accepting the second string of data as a second parameter. There is also provided an apparatus that performs the method, and a storage device that contains instructions for controlling a processor to perform the method.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

presenting, on a display of a user interface, a line for entry of data;

receiving, from said user interface, a first string of data;

presenting a representation of said first string of data, on said display, on said line;

receiving, from said user interface, data that represents a space;

presenting a representation of said space, on said display, on said line;

receiving, from said user interface, a second string of data;

presenting a representation of said second string of data, on said display, on said line;

accepting said first string of data as a first parameter; and

accepting said second string of data as a second parameter.

2. The method of claim 2, further comprising, prior to said presenting said line:

presenting a toggle key on said display;

presenting, on said display, a first field for entry of said first string of data, and a second field, separate from said first field, for entry of said second string of data;

receiving, from said user interface, data that indicates a selection of said toggle key; and

toggling, on said display, between presenting (a) said line, and (b) said first field and said second field.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said first parameter is a username, and said second parameter is a password.

4. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that contains instructions that are readable by said processor and cause said processor to;

present, on a display of a user interface, a line for entry of data;

receive, from said user interface, a first string of data;

present a representation of said first string of data, on said display, on said line;

receive, from said user interface, data that represents a space;

present a representation of said space, on said display, on said line;

receive, from said user interface, a second string of data;

present a representation of said second string of data, on said display, on said line;

accept said first string of data as a first parameter; and

accept said second string of data as a second parameter.

5. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said instructions, prior to causing said processor to present said line, cause said processor to:

present a toggle key on said display;

present, on said display, a first field for entry of said first string of data, and a second field, separate from said first field, for entry of said second string of data;

receive data that indicates a selection of said toggle key; and

toggle, on said display, between presenting (a) said line, and (b) said first field and said second field.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said first parameter is a username, and said second parameter is a password.

7. A storage device comprising instructions that are readable by a processor and cause said processor to:

present, on a display of a user interface, a line for entry of data;

receive, from said user interface, a first string of data;

present a representation of said first string of data, on said display, on said line;

receive, from said user interface, data that represents a space;

present a representation of said space, on said display, on said line;

receive, from said user interface, a second string of data;

present a representation of said second string of data, on said display, on said line;

accept said first string of data as a first parameter; and

accept said second string of data as a second parameter.

8. The storage device of claim 8, wherein said instructions, prior to causing said processor to present said line, cause said processor to:

present a toggle key on said display;

present, on said display, a first field for entry of said first string of data, and a second field, separate from said first field, for entry of said second string of data;

receive data that indicates a selection of said toggle key; and

toggle, on said display, between presenting (a) said line, and (b) said first field and said second field.

9. The storage device of claim 8, wherein said first parameter is a username, and said second parameter is a password.
