And, ironically, not allowed by Amex. :-) (BTW - you are correct, even _knowing_ that the password folllows the user account - a password that is a URL would be an incredibly effective way of defeating keyloggers. At least the ones who are trying to pull data in from thousands of people. Once you are focussed on the keylog data from a _single_ stream, it's basically game over.

Can alternating mouse input help? E.g. click over to your google-search box, type in p455w0rd, then click back over to your password box and type in your password, facebook.
