One bank uses a pictogram -- picture. After entering only your username, a different/succeeding page loads that shows a picture and queries your password. This picture is individual for each customer. You get to pick it out of a huge library of pictures when you sign up for an on-line banking account. If the proper picture doesn't show, then the user concludes that the site has been hijacked and the page is invalid. Therefore the user does not enter his password and the "thief" page doesn't capture his password. The virtual (graphic) keyboard that I mentioned earlier could be used for the only password required, or it could be a second, additional password.
