When I do online banking, or some other sensitive site, I do not type my pin, password, or any other number; I copy and paste the numbers into the form, so if on my computer or theirs there is a keylogger installed that there are no keystrokes to record. I do not even keep the numbers on my hard drive; I copy and paste from a I gig thumbdrive (keyring drive) where I keep sensitive numbers and codes. When this small usb drive is not being used, I lock it in a safe. I erase the free space on my hard drive regularly just to make sure there are no tracks.
