It's only secure if you control both ends of the connection. If you are using someone else's machine they could be running a key logger and you are still not secure.

If you use one-time-passwords with ssh, the keylogger won't get anything
useful.  You have to make sure everything involved is using the OTPs
though, including things like sudo.  If you're on a PAM system, OTP isn't
that hard to set up, at least a basic, not all that secure one that
requires you to print the passwords out.
