This is supposed to prevent keylogging.. but I think anything with that amount of access to your PC can tap into the browser to read the request before it's sent. So, probably not as good as it sounds.

It would prevent physical keyloggers (small dongles in between keyboard and computer) and possibly even RF keylogging, but yeah, it's a false sense of security.
Yes, and it may also screenshoting the pixels around where mouse clicks, so I don't think it can prevent keylooger. OTP is better solution.
