So when I log into the financial institution where I have my retirement accounts I ALWAYS type the password incorrectly, then I go back and change the incorrect characters as well as add the characters I skipped. I always use the same pattern so I know what to correct. I figure if someone is somehow monitoring the keystrokes they would have to do a lot of work to get the actual password from what I typed. I'm just paranoid about someone getting into the account.
So if my password was 123456789, I would type 11344689 and then go back and overwrite the second 1 with a 2, overwrite the second 4 with a 5 and then add the 7. I figure a few seconds if my time is no big deal and it makes me feel better. Does anyone else do anything like this?
