For the 10000000000000000000000000th time mods cant do that.

The lua engine starts AFTER you log in which is AFTER your password has been removed from memory. There is also no way for a mod to interact with any form of network communication so it can't send your password to anyone.

MODS use LUA script the only thing they can do is what wow lets them do and installing themselves as a system application or copying your password is not one of those things.

Any mod that has an installer application is subject to scrutiny because the installer not the mod could contain a virus. As long as you are getting your mods from a reputable place like curse, wowace, or wowinterface you will be fine.
