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.
