Keystroke logging is a method used for monitoring and recording keystrokes on a keyboard. To prevent keystroke logging, a few steps should be taken:
- Use a physical security token, such as a USB key, password generator, or biometric authentication to access sensitive sites and applications
- Check for updated versions of software that may include keystroke logging prevention
- Enable two-factor authentication for all online access
- Set strong passwords for logins and encrypt sensitive data
- Be aware of malicious links and websites that can contain key logging features
- Keep your anti-virus and firewall software up to date
- Clean up your computer regularly with a trusted anti-malware application
