If you are worried about this happening (and yes it does) you can type in a your 4 digit pincode then hit the AnyKey. This is the same as all those password generators for all the VPN's hardware keys but much more user friendly!
Furthermore I expect this to have a big benefit for homebanking. You put in your bank card press sign/identify and then have to manually type in the generated code. This device can type it in for you automatically!

If you are scared of that happening you can use it to type 20 or 30 random chars which you append with your pincode. Basically it's definitely better than using a post-it or txt file on the desktop which I see users do all the time. A futer
Is there anything that prevents this from typing a password into a plaintext field? I made a similar device simply because I got tired of typing the same passwords over and over but if I pushed the button at the wrong time it would type the password for anybody to see.
Also I doubt yours was reprogrammable without attaching it to a seperate ISP this one can be reprogrammed on the fly without dissassembling ;). It took me months to get that solved, as well as any sync bugs are solved with software calibration. Even cooler I can produce it for less than 5$. Anyway I've just about saved enough to go into mass production, watch those gadget stores soon ;)
Today I'm soldering an even simpler schematic for a mini keychain version. Follow it on my blog. The new thing is that it stores the string in eeprom and there is a cross platform app so you can change your output string called Locksmith. This app is currently in development and is only necessary to change your password or first store it when you get a blank device. After that it works everywhere without drivers or software.

A future version (Halas also more expensive) would only type after reading your fingerprint. Now I plan to get in stores for 10$
