Keylogger

A malicious program or piece of hardware that records everything you type into a device, including passwords and other personal details, allowing others to secretly collect that information. (The "key " in keylogger refers to the keys you have on your keyboard.) Keyloggers are often malware that users have been tricked into downloading and running, or occasionally physical hardware secretly plugged into a keyboard or device.
