The Keypad Credit Card – aka Embedded Authentication Device – is…well a credit card with a built-in number pad. Why? Well…um…perhaps because they can? The company’s last effort along these lines was a credit card with a password screen, which also seemed a little redundant.

For example, a user can enter his or her secret PIN into the card’s keypad to receive a numeric passcode for one-time use.
