Are you worried about having a KeyLogger working in the
background?
These days agents spy on you everywhere, in college, at work, maybe a trojan virus on your home PC which keyboard logs your passwords and mails it to some unknown hidden destination.
Whenever you have to type a password, or any other sensitive data you wish to protect, never type the complete password in one sequence.
As an example. If your password is JIMMY begin by typing in IMM, then move your cursor to the start of your password field using the mouse ONLY, then type J, then again move cursor to the end of the password (JIMMY) using the mouse ONLY, and type your last two letter Y.
Doing it this way, the logger will be fooled and record your keystrokes as [IMMJY] instead of [JIMMY].
Substitute any password for my example of JIMMY. You can also use this technique while filling in Credit Card Numbers or Addresses etc.....
Another method, which is better still, is to copy and paste your password, pin number etc. using your mouse only, by highlighting letters that make up your password details, and pasting them individually, or as a group. The only key the Keylogger would pickup is when you push the Enter key after you pasted all your details.
Doing this with ANY sensitive data (ebay, etc.) gives added protection.
You may also download a virtual keyboard which will ease the procces of entering letters without using your real keyboard. Just google for a free virtual keyboard..
