My bank recently changed to a virtual keyboard at the login screen for online banking...

I thought at first that it was stupid because it's more obvious where you're moving a mouse to...

Now I've just realised that as you click the number and letter buttons they STAY HIGHLIGHTED until you click something else.

How fucking stupid is that? Anyone peering over your shoulder can easily figure out your pw.
