Keeping Passwords Safe (Habbo User Idea)

[Moh]

Well I Have a File on my Memory stick which I only put into PC to get my habbo pass, then take it out. I then copy and paste my password. I used to get hacked alot from keyloggers, now I havent been hacked for 6 months (Touch Wood)
Its a ok idea, prob better sollutions.

There should be a option where you can save your password, like on other website when you type a username and password a message pops up asking if you want it to be saved in memory. This would probably reduce people getting hacked. Another option is using the on screen keyboard (accesories -> accesabilities) but I think it takes too long for impatient people.

Or use the thing RuneScape has on the banks.

On screen keyboard does not stop keyloggers.

Quoted from Wikipedia:

It is sometimes said that an on-screen keyboard is a way to combat these, as it only requires clicks of the mouse. However, this is not true, because a keyboard event message must be sent to the external target program to type text. Every software keylogger can log the text typed with an on-screen keyboard, and additionally, some programs also record or take snapshots of what is displayed on the screen.
The web-based on-screen keyboard may provide some degree of protection. At least some commercial keylogging programs do not record typing on the web-based virtual keyboard. However, the keylogging software can take screenshots.

But the one on Control panel isnt Web-based? :s

Also, The copying and pasting probably won't be of any effect either. Some keyloggers get the contents of the clipboard, and like Nixt's quote from wikipedia, it can record screenshots.
