Due to the nature of One-Time Pad encryption, even a keylogger would only work if the person running the logger logged in within the couple of minutes before the password expired... and really, if that happened, you'd be able to notice (since you'd get kicked off) and could log in repeatedly until the password changed, thereby preventing the thief from making use of your password.
