What happens if I book a flight at a badly infected internet cafe computer in Chiang Mai and a key logger reads my password

Does VbV make this any worse? It's very difficult to protect against (other than "never use untrusted computers").

This is why two-factor authentication should be required.

When making a payment? I love the idea of forcing two-factor auth for online banking, but if it was required every time I wanted to spend £5 at a bookstore I think it could get pretty irritating.
