out-smart spys?

an idea crossed my mind I'd like to run by a few experts.  Regardless of whether you use AAK or not, do you think a good method of protecting passwords and credit card numbers would be to type them in a different order?
 
such as, if your password was "password", and you typed ass, then put the p in front, then put the d at the and, and then put wor before the d.  It would take longer and be a bit annoying (although not as annoying as getting your identity stolen) but I think it would be rather hard for someone to figure out that you typed your password or credit card number in a different order

Yes, this method is good but please take into account that some sophisticated keyloggers can capture password at the moment when it's already entered so no matter in what order the password symbols were entered.
