Thanks for letting me in




Unlikely but not impossible and depending what areas we're talking it could be reasonably likely.

Right. So I type a wrong PIN 6 times and my iphone disables itself for a period of time. After 10 unsuccessful tries, my iPhone totally wipes itself.

Next.

I am just paranoid. But, having said that, if I do a google search on 'phone lock', there is multitude of videos instructing the user how to bypass a phone lock.

I don't know which video(s) you are looking at but I am satisfied that nobody can break into my iPhone unless I give them the PIN.

I'm just scared to have open banking. And I would be scared to have a multitude of banking apps on my phone. It could be a security nightmare if the mobile got stolen or was lost...And I'm assuming that with open banking, you only require one password to access all your accounts. What if the password was compromised for any reason? Maybe I am just paranoid though...

So you leave your bank cards in the house every time you go out

Question is in the thread title.

Just wondering if I was unusual...

Did you know the Apps are more secure than logging in by a browser?

Apps go onto a small, insecure, phone.
People take phones out of the house and they get dropped, fall out of pockets, get pickpocketed, get physically robbed for them.

Why'd anybody have direct access to their life's wealth on such an insecure thing?

Phones are more secure than PC's in general and that's why banks let them be used as a two factor authentication device but no bank allows a PC to be used like this.

On modern phones they are very secure especially with fingerprint locks.

If only the apps were apps and not a !!!!!! mobile website with a wrapper.


I'm looking as you lloydsbankinggroup!


You web site used to be so much better before it was butchered so the same pages could be served up in ther "app".


To be honest I just prefer them to make multiple ways to do things properly instead of one hald assed version that does not work very well on any platform.


Still you get used to the annoyances. Then of course they change them.

I cannot see how a phone can be any more or any less secure than a regular PC. A modern phone is after all, a mini-computer...And as we all know, a computer (whether a phone or pc) has vulnerabilities. The more popular the hardware, the more vulnerabilities there are...

I use apps / online banking, but have no interest in open banking.
