YubiKey NEO and keylogging

How does 1Password protect against Keystroke logging? I'm wanting to use the YubiKey NEO but read 1Pass doesn't support it, followed by a long explanation as to why. LastPass uses it, why not 1Pass? I'm concerned my master password will be stolen.

    @vjtk007: Your Master Password can only be stolen if you cede control of the machine to someone else. 1Password uses SecureInput to protect against keyloggers...but what you need to understand is that once someone else owns your system, all bets are off, as they can simply wait and collect your data as you access it — after all, it needs to be decrypted for you to use it. If you're using the standalone version of 1Password with local vaults, there is nothing to authenticate with. If you're using a 1Password.com account, you already have a 128-bit, randomly generated Secret Key which is also used to encrypt your data. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
