Keyloggers are usually there without the user knowing it. They record key strokes and then use your password to either transmit data to a hacker or to a malware that will use your password to get in your account(s) or your computer. For extra security, I use screen keyboard for user name as well. If you leave the on-screen keyboard on your screen when you exit, then it will be there with your log-in password box when you want to reaccess your user account.

Thank you Fireskull for posting helpful informations for keeping guys computers running smoothly
but this section is just incorrect .
I would like to let others know about on-screen keyboard so there is no misunderstanding or disappointment . Big Grin

Windows' On-Screen Keyboard app is also logged !! .
Unfortunately, the program provides no defense against software keyloggers.
Windows' On-Screen Keyboard sends information to applications as keystrokes ,
just as though you'd pressed the keys on a keyboard .
So basically whatever you mouse click type by using on-screen keyboard will be recorded
by keylogger if it was quietly installed and running hidden on your machine .
Ooooops !! sorry , still no free lunch 8)
