I really disagree about making it 'easier' to login to your online banking. Those who are savvy enough know what they are doing and can handle complex password / authorization combos. Until we have better solutions leave it complex and let customer service handle the cases where the odd person can't manage their login info. With banking, security is a far better requirement than usability. Having said that, my online bank has what I perceive to be a fairly secure 3-step auth system and if I don't have my info physically in front of me I can't get access. Emergency and can't login? I'll call them.


3-step authentication? Which bank offers that?


my bank uses:

1. 12 digit pin / complex password

2. Physical reference card (like a puzzle game to answer on login)

3. Must reply to SMS to transfer funds / configure payments


Which bank?
