FYI...
A recent purchase I made at DABS www.dabs.co.uk utilized this technique
when the Verify by Visa component launched at the conclusion of the CC
authorization process.

There are additional countermeasures that a web application can
implement. For example, the app could have the user enter his/her
password by clicking an onscreen keyboard or ask the user for random
characters from their password (enter the 2nd, 4th and 10th character of
your password). I should state that while I've read about these I don't
know of a web application that makes use of them.

Well, now that I think about it, that is not entirely true... Websites
could front-end their web apps with applications such as Sygate (

<http://www.symantec.com/Products/enterprise?c=prodinfo&refId=1302> )
which can check the user's computer for some forms of malware (including
keyloggers) and then place the user into a Java virtual machine to help
protect user credentials.
