(U)XTerm can lock input to a terminal so snooping it it's impossible.

That doesn't help when a bunch of disparate credentials are entered and cached in a shared runtime environment inside the same bunch of processes (aka: your browser).

You have pledge and unveil under OpenBSD.

Or, if you are truly paranoid... just create another Unix user for sensible web browsing and log in with that account:

          useradd -m webcare
  
          passwd webcare
Done.
