I really like ING’s clickable PIN pad. It is an excellent defense against key loggers on public computer (not that I’d look at financial data on a public computer without additional security I have at my disposal). I agree the requirement of the Customer number is a pain (I don’t remember mine, but I have it in a password protected application on my compurter and Pocket PC), I’d much rather have a personal ID I can make up.

This is really not new news. E*trade already has available an RSA token. Login requires both password and the changing token number. Well nigh impossible to hack because the number changes frequently

I have to wonder why they continue to require the account number, though, instead of creating login IDs. The account number is not a secret, but it is extremely difficult to remember, and a pain in the butt to keep entering.
