I know there are a bunch of folks using the CC to do their passwords. Type
in your username, have a barcode as your password (name me one person who
has a password of cdagfhwuinw-dbimwfjiwo-djfimaoqmeiow - or whatever the
output would be) - and walla! Since everything is going through the
keyboard, it really would work well.
Yes, you are right - the "encryption" they use is really lame.

A doctor says to a man "You want to improve your love life? You need to get
some exercise. Run ten miles a day." Two weeks later, the man called the
doctor. The doctor says "How is your love life since you have been
running?" "I don't know, I'm 140 miles away."
