Some financial organisations have a strange idea of security. Lloyds TSB asks for your account details and date of birth to log in. Should anyone untrustworthy get hold of your debit card whilst knowing your date of birth, they've enough details to rape your account.

If you have a reasonably rare name, then your mother's maiden name (often asked for by banks) is a publicly available item. This is almost true for the DoB of an increasing portion of the population (month & year available). Though many people seem happy to give it out on social websites, anyway. And of course very many commercial bodies (as well as official ones) have your DoB. Are all the people with access to these trustworthy?

Coventry BS recently changed the login procedure from 2 memorable passwords, to 1 memorable password and 3 random numbers from a grid which they send out in the post.

Thid effectivly means carrying round a piece of paper with your password on it just so you can log in to the Banking.

Anyone else think this is a step backwards in account security rather than the "enhanced security" they are claiming it to be.:mad::mad::mad:

Given the immense hassle that would be involved in sorting out a fraud on my account, I don't really see how the carrying around of a card - that is easy to slip into a wallet with my other cards - is in any way an issue. And, contrary to what you've said, it doesn't contain your password.

But LTSB ask for a password (of whatever length you have chosen within reason) and three characters from your memorable data not your account details and dob!
