Would copying & pasting password work around potential keyloggers?

[nicopo]

Hey, I am going thru best practices for security. Say I don't have an anti-keylogger (yet an anti-virus) as suggested in this thread:

Would copying & pasting my password (from keepass for instance) work around potential keyloggers? (as opposed to actually typing it character by character) Thx.

No.
Keyloggers that only log your keystrokes barely exist.

Most of todays keyloggers are very advanced and log everything from mouse movement to focused windows and most surely your clipboard (where your copy&paste is temporarily saved).
