Hello,
Maybe you can to try install/update/upgrade Firefox 30?
But maybe it not related.... if previously it works and just Key upgraded to (1.6.140?). And if current shorcut/hotkeys was without troubles before.
Probably it should be work with Firefox 29.0.1 too....
Firefox 30.0 installed but CTRL+F2 still not working. The problem came when i uppgraded to Key 1.6.140
So.... maybe someone comes here with same situation.
My experience about Firefox just with systems, where it simply not work about CTRL+F2 (and F-Secure Key);
In your situation - how about other browsers (Internet Explorer) or simply with CTRL+F2 - it work (probably yes) with Key 1.6.140?!
Previous version (1.6.139) probably work with Firefox 29.0.1/30 - but I not really know.... which changes in Key during that "update" - can be important for that trouble-situation.
Does you also mean.. that you visible Key-picture with "password/login form" and tips about "you able to use CTRL+F2" ?! And just "CTRL+F2" hotkeys/shortcut does not work? Can be here something, which can be in somewhat reasons... block it - or overload?!
Same problem in IE 11.0.9600.17126
I can see Key-picture and "Tip: Use CTRL + F2 to enter your user name and password anywere"
The password is working ok but I have to check my username in the Key program.
Maybe it's mean.. that trouble not about Firefox...
Also.. I can not to check with Windows 7 now (if you mean that Windows 7 and not Windows 8.1), but:
With my system - Internet Explorer and system able to get "CTRL+F2" by F-Secure Key.
Also... for "CTRL+F2" need just use "CTRL+F2" - it's not really needed do with browser.
Probably your situation... that CTRL+F2 not work - if you try do that during just place with any application/system or just for Wordpad/Notepad. If yes... probably here strange situation.... maybe here need something by F-Secure Key team for checking or other dreams around. Because I met some kind of same.. but it just when... load system and probably just CTRL+F2 long "loading" too.
But if it work with any other applications, Notepad/Wordpad... and just with browsers "CTRL+F2" have troubles. Maybe here have something like protection for browsers (like prevent any exploits and improving any settings)?
------
Of course, like strange addition - what about ... trying to re-install F-Secure Key (with back-up User Data / Passwords / Entries before that action) - if you already not did that.
I have Windows 7 and "CTRL+F2" does not work in any application. I made a "Repair" of Key but that did not work out. I will try to remove and re-Install Key next week.
Also.. you maybe can to try check something about "Hotkey does not work Windows 7" by any search-engine for any Microsoft instructions.
Maybe just because it stopped work with anything... maybe here something about troubles with hotkeys/shortcuts, which can be known for Microsoft and they have any instructions for same situations.
Or.. someone else with Windows 7 able to check about "CTRL+F2" and new version of Key. Also maybe before "update" to new version.... was "Microsoft updates".... my system with latest updates.. have two strange situations about. But not so critical - when something goes to "not work" (but close to that - because a lot of new steps...... for normal work).
Hello,
I also created private letter for you...
With one strange-suggestion.
I can now see I have the same problem on my laptop. Can it be some problem in the cloud?
Just like funny suggestion - can you try to "re-change" your master-password by Key UI?!
Here I mean -> Settings -> Change master password -> And change it (or without indeed changes - but just like using current feature and change master-password in fact from "old_old" to "old_new").
Sorry, same as before.
CTRL + F2 still not working. Hoping for a update.
Since it's been a while since we've heard anything on this thread, I wanted to see if any of the recent updates fixed this CTRL + F2 problem for you, or do you still need a hand in figuring this out?
It is still not working but I can live with that. ;-)
