Keyloggers record anything that you type and where you type it on your PC in a log and transfer those logs to the person - better thief - who did install the keylogger on your computer. He can then find out all the urls you visited, the passwords that you entered on those websites and what you did there as well.
The chance that your home system is infected by a keylogger is rather slim especially if you are a careful user with some basic computer security knowledge. The real danger lies out there in the real world and they go by the name public computers. There is no way normally that you can check if a public computer is running a keylogger in the background or another type of nasty virus or trojan that records your computer activity.
Safekeys is a small software that does not need to be installed which makes it an ideal application for such situations. It displays a virtual keyboard on your screen and you can use the mouse to type the asterisked password in. It supports all the chars that are normally located on a real keyboard.

The so created password is displayed in the Safekeys software and you have to mark and drag and drop it to the password field on the website or application that you want to use.
