That's like asking how to prevent viruses without virus protection. In
general, you don't. I suppose you could do something like voice activated
software, or there's some new equipment for scanning fingerprints which
might be possible to use.
But when you think about it, if somebody already has a keylogger on your
machine, that means they generally have full control anyway, so who's to say
that they don't have other backdoors, and that they haven't grabbed your
password files, or anything like that?
Anyway, what's the problem with using anti-keylogger software? It does what
it was designed to do, which is prevent keyloggers. It seems silly to not
use it.

Hi,
I'm keeping a watch on the List for short time. And I have a
question : What are the techniques to protect a password from being
keylogged without any Anti-Keylogging Software.
I thought of virtual keyboards, and other non-keyboard techniques but
modern keyloggers can take screenshots too. So It's useless.
I hope we reach a wise decision of the best method.
