Malware can be used to steal your password in a variety of ways. It can install keyloggers on your computer, which record every keystroke you make, including passwords and other sensitive information. It can also use phishing attacks, where malicious links or emails are sent that can collect passwords when clicked or opened. Malicious browser extensions can also be installed, which can access and transmit passwords stored in the browser. Lastly, malicious software can be installed that attempts to guess and generate passwords based on the information it finds on your computer.
