Yes, that is a grid of codes
I used it before with lastpass (lastpass.com) and I also use it in my online Bank. Normally it gives you 3 numbers, for example: "A1" could be "567" and every grid is different to every client.

A || a | b | c | ...
-------------------
B || d | e | f | ...
-------------------
C || g | h | h | ...

In case of a 15x15 grid, there would be 225 random characters.

There could then be two login options: 'Normal' with your normal password (from a trusted computer) and 'Secure' with a second, static password plus 8 random chars from your grid as requested by the web interface, i.e. one would enter MyStaticPassWhichIsNotMyNormalPass + A3;C12;F2;[...].

@RB: Do you think it's feasible to implement something like this in the near future?
