When you log in to their site, you put in your username and location, then this picture shows up with a phrase. If they match, then you're prompted to enter your password. It's a great anti-phishing technique...but only works at the web login level. I like your idea quite a bit, actually. Bank of America does has a “picture and phrase” association that you choose.

ING Bank also does the same thing. My image is (say) a (potentially incontinent) Panda, if the image isn't on the login page I know something phishy is going on.

I really appreciate your explanation, and I'm actually finding it quite fascinating. Could you tell me what's in the photo? I recognize most of it, but I'm curious about some of it. You describe yourself as "vegetarian" and then refer to others as "raw vegans". Does that mean you're not a vegan? I think I could actually eat what you have pictured there, and be quite happy doing it, but I'd have to add feta cheese. :) I love the convenience! No cooking? Just slice/dice/julienne your fruits and veggies and go to town? Sounds like something I'd like to do...even if it was just a few days a week to start with. Can you recommend more info, recipes, ideas? Hi, Dan. I really appreciate your explanation, and I’m actually finding it quite fascinating.
