I wouldn't store my banking passwords anywhere online, in fact I cannot access my bank account with password alone. I also need my debit card, PIN and the card reader they supply. This generates one-time password using my card's details and no online component. I realise that card security is not the greatest, but if they've got my card and PIN, I'm screwed anyway. -- Neil Bothwick This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot
