This is a valid pint. I too tend to be more concerned about security than convenience. For example, after experiencing just how casually credit cards are handled, I not only leave mine unsigned at the back, but also black it out (so nobody else can sign it). This way, for any nontrivial charge, they give me a confused look and ask to see my ID.
I have also blacked out the CVC code at the back (and noted it down separately).
Anyway, back to EF. You can always use your browser's autofill feature so you don't have to type your name and password over and over. From my home computers, I only need to hit return to log in.
