I have just got back from holiday, I was not willing to check my email form the hotel’s “internet café” PC, as I could not think of a way of eliminate the risk that it had a “password logging” worm, virus, or intentionally install application. (Someone could even have installed a hardware keyboard logger into the keyboard socket!)
So is there any way to access web applications safely from untested machines?
(I would rather not take the risk of my laptop getting stolen on from the hotel room, and not all vacation type hotels have wireless internet yet anyway)

The password manager LastPass has a screen keyboard and also one-time-use passwords. The screen keyboard is specifically to avoid key loggers and one-time-use limits the value of the password if it is intercepted..
