The SecurID I have from <a href="http://www.moolanomy.com/go/etrade-savings/" rel="nofollow">ETrade</a> is very easy to find out about. Other than that, I tend to read their privacy documents (I know, boring) and if I can't figure it out from there, I call them and tell them I am interested in knowing what additional security features they have available to their online-banking customers. @DDFD Yes, paypal offers a secure key https://www.paypal.com/securitykey

I do this myself and also have been preaching it to others. What do I mean by a two browser system? Well, for all my regular browsing of the internet I use Firefox and never visit any of my financial websites with it. When I need to do any online banking I use a different browser like Opera to connect to my banks website, and I never visit any other sites with it. This way if there ever is vulnerability in Firefox that happens to steal information like passwords or cookies, they won't get my banking info, because that is in the other browser, they will just get info on sites that won't matter as much.
