But most of us usually only encounter different layouts when travelling, and it's not a very bright idea to go typing your passwords into net cafe computers anyway, so I guess it could be considered an inadvertent security feature. :) | |

A few suggestions to improve this method are to add a suffix and a prefix. Also don't just shift 1 character to the right, shift in another direction and / or by a different amount. | |
