I realized as soon as I hit 'send' that this was unclear.
To log everything but passwords, simple keylogging can be employed
without an input manager or otherwise talking with the other
applications. The event dispatch system will happily help you with
that 'problem' (using Carbon).
Passwords, etc, can be gotten via input managers I believe. I think
this is how "1Password" works. Password fields are, however, resistant
to key logging as I said.
