KYPS (Keep Your Password Secret) is a free web-based service that enables users to log into websites, which usually require a username/password combination, using one-time passwords. The main difference between KYPS and similar password management technologies is that the password is never disclosed to the local computer. This makes KYPS effective against password theft by spyware or keyloggers, particularly when using public computers such as in an Internet cafe.{{cite conference |last1=Pashalidis |first1=Andreas |title=2009 WRI World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering |date=2009 |chapter=Accessing Password-Protected Resources without the Password |book-title=WRI World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering |conference=CSIE 2009 |pages=66–70 |doi=10.1109/CSIE.2009.910|isbn=978-0-7695-3507-4 }}
