The device plugs in between your keyboard and your computer. A microcontroller interprets the data, and stores information in the non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory retains the information even when there is a loss of power. This means that the KEYKatcher device can be unplugged, and the information will not be lost.

The microcontroller is constantly checking to see if the password has been typed. As soon as the password sequence is entered, the KEY Katcher comes to life. A menu is sent to the screen of the computer, and the user has the option to erase memory, view memory, change password, or disable the device.
