Web-based keyboards

Web-based on-screen keyboards may provide some degree of protection. At least some commercial keylogging programs do not record typing on a web-based virtual keyboard.

Many banks uses the web-based screen keyboard to prevent key logging. HSBC is one of them.

However, screenshot recorders are a concern whenever entire passwords are displayed; fast recorders are generally required to capture a sequence of virtual key presses.

Software-based keyboards
(Program-to-program (non-web) keyboards)

It is sometimes said that a third-party (or first party) on-screen keyboard program is a good way to combat keyloggers, as it only requires clicks of the mouse. However, this is not always true.

Most on screen keyboards (such as the onscreen keyboard that comes with Microsoft Windows XP) send keyboard event messages to the external target program to type text. Every software keylogger can log these typed characters sent from one program to another. Additionally, some programs also record or take snapshots of what is displayed on the screen (periodically, and/or upon each mouse click).

Last Bit
Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is the practice of noting (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. Their information can be stolen, such information is not limited to bank details, credit card details and id, it can be anything they type, and their computer can even be totally controlled, then everything on the computer can be stolen.
