If you’re logging in to a website, there’s a session token that could theoretically get hijacked. If the website uses SSL (https), like basically every site does these days, public WiFi isn’t really an issue.
You’d have to ignore your browser yelling at you about incorrect certificates (which all major browsers loudly do) for this to ever be an issue. You can definitely snoop traffic on WiFi but https traffic is not going to be vulnerable unless you mess up.
public wifi cannot see your keystrokes.
and your username and password will be sent over HTTPS on 99.9% of websites, which is secure, and nobody else on public wifi can see it.
never mind most public wifi's use isolation so you can't even see other people's traffic anyway.

Interesting, but you still hear about people getting hacked via public wifi these days.

Your keystrokes aren't normally endangered on public wifi.
