A system and method provide for adjusting a random character or sequence of random characters. A random character or the sequence can be computed and displayed by a first device, and adjusted in response to user input from a second device. In response to user input correctly adjusting the displayed random character or sequence to match a password, the first device generates an output signal that can effect a financial transaction to occur. The password can correspond to a banking card PIN. The user input can comprise a series of offsets having values of plus one (+1), minus one (−1), or some other offset amount. The random sequence can include multiple digits (for example, numbers or letters). The first device can display the adjusted random character and replace digits of the displayed adjusted random sequence with unrelated typographical symbols, such as an asterisk (*).
