Combatting Keyloggers

Hello:
I work at a company and we make Database software. We use VB.Net and SQL server. Since data is very precious and important, we started thinking about the possibility of keyloggers (Since one of our customers used this to find out our support password.) We are now wanting to combat this problem. Does anyone know of a way to either mask character keystrokes? Or is there a way to stop keyloggers from detecting characters while our program is running? We are open for ideas.

Here in Canada, there are alot of privacy laws and we wish to make our software as safe and secure as possible.

Thanks in advance

Brian

Hallo Dutchman,

I have seen there is a lot of anti-keyloggers software on Google when you
search on keylogger

Why not try one of those and take them in the start of your program with a
process start. When they have a commandline standardoutput you can than trap
that and when it is cancel your program.

Just an idea.

And why do you call yourself TheDutchman in Canada
