Password entry through keyboard is a risk?

It was interesting to know from today's morning news on WWJ 950AM, that Researchers at University of California, Berkeley say that a password can be decrypted (or retrieved) by recording the sound made by the keys while typing the password. This sound will then be analyzed and the password is guessed based on the fact that the sound made by each of the different keys on the keyboard is different.
