Abstract
In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques may include, by a first computing device hosting an application that is being executed on a second computing device, detecting a start of a password input to the application, wherein the password input occurs during a session for sharing a screen of the second computing device. The method may also include, responsive to the detection, sending, by the first computing device to the second computing device, a notification to suspend the sharing of the screen of the second computing device. The application may be a virtual application. The second computing device may be a mobile device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a first computing device hosting an application that is being executed on a second computing device, a start of a password input to the application, wherein the password input occurs during a session for sharing a screen of the second computing device;
- and
- responsive to the detection, sending, by the first computing device to the second computing device, a notification to suspend the sharing of the screen of the second computing device.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-volatile memory storing computer program code that when executed on the processor causes the processor to execute a process including:
- detecting a start of a password input to an application hosted by the computing device and being executed on a remote computing device, wherein the password input occurs during a session for sharing a screen of the remote computing device;
- and
- responsive to the detection, sending to the remote computing device, a notification to suspend the sharing of the screen of the remote computing device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoding instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out, the process including:
- detecting, by a computing device hosting an application that is being executed on a remote computing device, a start of a password input to the application, wherein the password input occurs during a session for sharing a screen of the remote computing device;
- and
- responsive to the detection, sending, by the computing device to the remote computing device, a notification to suspend the sharing of the screen of the remote computing device.
