Does 1Password encrypt key-input of Master Password?
When logging into 1Password with my own master password, does 1Password encrypt the key-input on measure to keyloggers? If it's true on Windows, is that true on other platforms, like Mas OS X, iOS and Android? Thanks.

@Taro2015 Good question. Your master password is potentially the weakest aspect of protection. This is why we ask you to pick a long and strong master password.
When you enter your master password into 1Password, then key loggers can potentially spy on it. This is why we allow you to unlock 1Password for Windows on a Secure Desktop.
When 1Password is done with your master password (when your Vault has been unlocked), then we immediately zero it from your computer memory. We have your master password in memory for the shortest life span as possible.

Which regard to Android, you can minimise the danger by:
1) Always type in the MP, don't paste.
2) Always use the stock keyboard. Thirdparty keyboards come with a risk of your MP, and everything else you type, being captured.0
