NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - What could make you feel more at ease than a
picture of your dog, Scruffy?
Bank of America (Research) will require Internet clients to register
their computers and assign a digital image, such as a photo of a pet,
to their account in an effort to cut down on fraud, The Wall Street
Journal said Wednesday.
The image will appear on the site every time a customer has to enter
a password.
