Definition for keylogger:
Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is the practice of tracking (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored.

They would have any information you typed in.

Fake websites like that are called phishers.

Keylogging requires the downloading of something (most commonly an .exe) to actually take effect. Once it takes effect, it will record anything you type and communicate that information to whomever issued you the keylogger.
