Alright, so if your weary for whatever reason that you may have a keylogger or something, this should put you in the clear. Simply up up notepad and make a bunch of text, talking about something random. Somewhere include your password in the text (Make sure you have 'Remember account name' on in the WoW window. Now before you log on, upon up the document, highlight the text and hit cntrl C. Pull up the WoW window and click on password, now hit cntrl V. There, you logged in without a single keystroke.  And now if screenshots are taken, all they will see is the document.

Well if you get hacked and your items get deleted and disenchanted, being able to get your character back isn't sugh a good benefit, esepecially compared to never losing it in the first place. |

Some keyloggers record your clip-board as well. |

1) A keylogger is not a hack , so the title of this post is wrong .
2) Using this method will not prevent a keylogger from getting your password (because you still typed your pass in the notepad and some keyloggers can still see the clipboard) .
3) The best way to not get a keylogger is to use a Mac , or scan your files before you open them (i even unpack them for extra security) .
Be smart and you'll be fine , be a retard and you'll get your account stolen soon or later .

Almost impossible.
Just scan the files, and make sure you sweep your computer once in a while as well. Fairly ezmode. |

This is kind of what an extremely paranoid person could do, when entering your password you write in like the last three letters, click the beginning of it then put in the first three letters, then click in the middle and put in the last 3, assuming you have a 9 letter password. So, now they have your password but it's all messed up. I believe this'd work. |
