We are all worried about logging on to public computers or in our friend's computer because of keylogging (Keystroke logging) problems. Using the below method you can log on to your Google accounts page in your friend's or in a public computer safely without leaving any password signature in that computer.
1. Go to http://accounts.google.com/sesame, it will create a unique QR code as above picture.
2. Scan the QR code generated with your Android phone/iPhone/iPad/Windows Phone/BlackBerry Phone.
3. Google will then ask you whether you want to give permission logging your Google account in a public computer.
4. Once you give the permission, the window in Step 1 will quickly log you to your Google account without having to type the username or password.
5. Once you finish browsing, you can then log off from the computer without leaving your security password details in that computer.
I tested it works great without a hitch.

Update: Google has disable this phone based login method for now, it claims they have a better method than this and will be available to public soon.
