Edit: That's for their main sales website, so I'm wrong - they actually got an A on their website.
This said, I still feel that they could improve their 'One-Step Login' for security.

    When the log in page is https://www.capitaloneonline.co.uk and you have been going to capitalone.co.uk then I would be worried.
  • Cool. They got an A, so I'll update my post.
    This said, I think there one-step login is not that secure.

    I don't think it's secure either. If I can't remember certain characters from my password I just refresh the page until it asks for characters that I remember, but so can a thief. The letters should be fixed until you have logged in successfully with them.
