A simple tool to check for score updates weekly so we don't have to log in. It could display a graph about 1-2 inchs big that sits on people desktops. Anonymous and safe. Each person could have a graph assigned by a crazy random character ie, laksddddslk870S9KS@dskD8S, this way you won't even have to make it secure. Even if someone got lucky at guessing a tracker id at random it would not contain any personal info or allow them to log in to an account. All it has to do is pull a specific image or something with that code identifying the tracker image. This tracker image would be stored in an area separate from the secured data of the persons account. All the security would be with in MyFICO to generate their tracker. It is really simple to design and safe too. 
What do you think?

I believe the tracker image is already available and does update. It's even easier since most of it is done already. All you need is a tracker to import the image to.
I have been successful in making one using windows browser. I think MyFICO can have their data people design one in a few hours. Cost to MyFICO would be just a few hours of work. The data is already available as part of score watch. I had one running on my pc in just minutes. Maybe you could make a simple program to load the scores on peoples desktops so they don't have to log in all the time. You can completely cancel out Score Watch "EMAIL" alerts as this would update when they turn on their pc each day or so to check for updates. No late alerts, they would be retrieved each day when their computers turn on or when they click manual update. On the down side is that you will have daily requests coming from all customers for score checks daily.
I was just alerting MyFICO about this idea since you have already designed this to be portable, all you need to do is make a shell.

This relates to the graph images that tracks FICO scores that is part of ScoreWatch.

This image could so easily be placed in a tracker device on a persons desktop or built in to their browser menu bar. People are already doing it them selves, why not make it available as part of the service?
